View of Saarburg and Saarburg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the bridge over the Saar you can enjoy an excellent view of the castle ruins and the St. Laurentius Church. But watch out for the traffic, because even if the main road across the Saar runs a little further south, a car will pass by here every now and then. For a photo, you'd better stop briefly on the bike path on the east bank. Here you are completely undisturbed.
