Quiet roads lead through varied landscapes into small villages and towns on both sides of the border, full of charm and treasures to discover: regionally typical farmhouses like the Haus Saargau in Gisingen, the Schmuggelbud in La Houve, the Linslerhof estate, the Karlsbrunn hunting lodge, reached through dense forests, or the Hornbach monastery in Rhineland-Palatinate’s Hornbach – stops that also invite you to rest in their restaurants, bistros, or beer gardens. A special border case is Leidingen on the plateau of the wide, gently rolling Saargau. Here the border runs right through the divided village with its border viewing windows. Passing through Saargmünd in Lorraine, a town of stoneware industry, and by the European Cultural Park Bliesbruck-Rheinheim, the route goes along the so-called Baroque Road to the small residential town of Blieskastel in the heart of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Bliesgau.
