Saargemünd (French: Sarreguemines) is a must-see. Alone the view directly from the bike path shows interesting buildings. The city is definitely worth visiting.

The Saar

Highlight • River

The Saar is an emblematic river of the cross-border region that includes Lorraine and the German state of Saarland, to which it has visibly given its name. At this point, it is possible to observe it in one of the main towns of the valley, Sarreguemines.

From the cycle path, you can see the old Saar barges. These were built between the two world wars. They were previously pulled by hand on the canals and rivers; they were said to be towed (hence the name towpaths), now rehabilitated as cycle paths.

Lock 30 (Saar Canal)

Highlight • Structure

This point on the canal offers a tranquil atmosphere, with its calm waters and shaded banks, perfect for a walk or cycle ride. The lock itself adds a touch of heritage to the natural setting. The passage of boats through the lock gently punctuates the life of the canal.

Simbach Cycle Path: Spicheren to Alsting

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

In summer there is also quite a lot of fruit along the way, especially plums. Otherwise a totally quiet valley, coming from Spicheren the path drops slightly almost permanently so that you can just let the bike run.
