Passenger ships "Saarstern" and "Saargold"

Passenger ship "Saarstern" (Arno Salm)

Our boat trip through the Saar Loop is an excursion to one of the most beautiful corners of the Saarland. Here, the Saar completes a 300-degree loop that the river has carved into the rock over millions of years.

The 90-minute trip takes us through the Mettlach lock into the nature reserve - past Mont Clair Castle and the Cloef viewpoint to Dreisbach. There we turn round and return along this enchanting route.

On board, our crew will spoil you with hot and cold drinks, ice cream and snacks.
