As small as the surface area of
Saarland is, it is remarkably varied in its landscape. Extended forests and winding river valleys give the land its character. Itâs no wonder that such a large number of
health spas can be found here and that wellness tourism is growing steadily. An extensive network of hiking and cycling trails makes tours of discovery possible in every part of
Saarland, and river tours are increasingly popular as well.
The
Saar-Hunsrueck Nature Park attracts visitors with the famous
Saar River curve, while the
Bostal Lake and the
Losheim Lake offer plentiful opportunities for fun in the water.
Archaeological excavations from Roman times such as the
villa in Nennig, the estate in Borg and the open-air museum in
Homburg-Schwarzenacker bring history to life.
Saarland also offers plenty of occasions for celebration, with festivals throughout the year.
The cider festival in Merzig and the Perl wine festival, as well as the giant old town festivals in
Saarbrucken and
Saarlouis are exciting events because they exemplify the way of life in
Saarland.
