This extensive route meanders along the Saar and connects the historic estuary in Konz with the lively state capital of Saarbrücken. The journey leads through a valley deeply marked by Roman history and industrial heritage, passing the famous Saar Loop near Mettlach. Historically, this corridor served as an important trade route for coal and steel, as evidenced by the nearby Völklingen Ironworks, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Smooth riverside paths alternate with asphalted promenades.
