Saar River

Saar River from Cliff Lookout "Kleine Cloef" in Mettlach, Germany, is a great spot to appreciate the breathtaking beauty of the Saar Valley. From the viewpoint, visitors can enjoy a wide range of views extending over the Saar Valley, the forests, vineyards, and the old towns on the banks of the Saar River. The nearby Mettlach Abbey and Cloef Lookout in Mettlach also offer stunning views of the river. After the view, a visit to the historic Anno Domini Brewery in Mettlach or the cave museums of Wolferskaul and Elligshausen is highly recommended. The Wolferskaul museum at the Saar was recently listed as one of the 100 most beautiful world heritage sites of cultural significance. For nature lovers, the nearby woods of Linger Heide and Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park are great places for hiking, camping and bird watching.

Visitors should also not forget to take a boat ride on the Saar River and feel the smooth motion of the water. For a full experience, the Saar Tourist Organisation organises regular guided tours through the landscape of the Saar Valley with its unique cultural treasures.
