This reddish-brown wooden bridge safely crosses the Blies River and connects the hiking trails on both sides of the border. Surrounded by lush greenery, it offers an idyllic view of the river and invites you to pause for a moment. 💡 Tip: Pause for a moment in the middle of the bridge – from here, you can often spot ducks, fish, or even the shy kingfisher.

The Écluse de Güdingen is a lock on the Rhine-Marne Canal, located near Güdingen, a district of Saarbrücken. This lock allows ships to overcome the difference in height between different water levels. The lock plays an important role in shipping and water management in the region.

Serving as a natural border between France and Germany, the Blies is even more beautiful at the Bliesmengen-Bolchen spillway.
