Saargemünder Round

The route starts at the Schleuse Güdingen. You first cross the Saar on the L 109. Then it continues through the old town center of Güdingen. Use restaurants and shops as a supply option before a longer, scenic section. After passing through Güdingen, you reach Fechingen. There, the outdoor pool at the edge of town invites you to take a dip in the cool water on hot days. You continue cycling through fields and meadows through the Eschringen valley. Then you face a short but steep climb from the sports field to the forest edge. After passing through the small forest, you ride over a high plateau along the Dragonerweg and Wehholzer Weg to Auersmacher. The efforts of the climb are rewarded by fantastic panoramic views into the Bliesgau and Lorraine up to the Vosges. You cycle along the Saarland section of the Way of St. James. Then it goes through the Mühlenwald near Sitterswald down to the German-French border and along the Blies. At the Bliesmühle, the impressive museum of stoneware technology, you cross the border river. The cycle path leads you through Sarreguemines to the Saar. Now you ride 17 km along the Saar on the historic towpath back towards Saarbrücken.
