Activity breaks
What are the ingredients for a truly unforgettable activity break?
First of all, take a good helping of an exceptionally beautiful slice of nature. Ideally, it should be a selection of open grassland and deep forests, towering rocks and babbling brooks. Voilà, take the Saarland. And in order to get really close to nature, you have to follow special paths. Of those, we have quite a few in the Saarland, each of them of the highest quality.

Cycling
The Saarland is a small region with big cycle lanes. What matters is not the vast choice of routes but the many possibilities opened up by a well-managed network and beautiful, everchanging landscape. Most of the routes avoid main roads and were especially chosen to bring the visitor closer to nature like the routes through the UNESCO biosphere reserve Bliesgau with beautiful meadows, splendid orchards and spacious beech groves. Or follow some of our border-crossing paths and experience our culture, our way of life and the unique atmosphere of this exceptional region at first hand.
