Saargemünder Round

The route starts at the Güdingen Lock. You first cross the Saar on the L 109. Then you continue through the old town center of Güdingen. Use restaurants and shops as supply points before a longer, scenic section. After passing through Güdingen, you reach Fechingen. There, the outdoor pool at the town exit is a good spot to cool off on hot days. You continue cycling through fields and meadows in the Eschringen valley. Then you face a short but steep climb from the sports field to the edge of the forest. After crossing the small forest, you ride over a high plateau via the Dragonerweg and Wehholzer Weg to Auersmacher. The effort of the climb is rewarded with fantastic panoramic views of the Bliesgau and Lorraine up to the Vosges. You cycle along the Saarland section of the Pilgrim's Way. Then you descend through the Mühlenwald near Sitterswald to the German-French border and along the Blies. At the Bliesmühle, the interesting museum for stoneware technology, you cross the border river. The cycle path leads you through Sarreguemines to the Saar. Now you cycle 17 km along the Saar on the historic towpath back towards Saarbrücken.
