Lutwinus Chapel with View of the Saartal

Highlight • Religious Site

The Lutwinus Chapel is in the middle of the forest. A small visit is worthwhile here, because it is not only the enchanted place and the chapel itself, which fascinate, but also the beautiful view of the Saar Valley.

Nice tour from Dreisbach up to Nohn, Tünsdorf, Orscholz and through Kollesleuk Switzerland to Saarburg (incl. Castle and Warsberg). Through the vineyard back to the Saar. Short breather with a delicious ice cream before heading back to Dreisbach along the Saar.
Unfortunately it was very muddy in the forest, so we were also sucked in😱.
