Geographically, Bous is located on the southern bank of the Saar and borders the French Lorraine. Its location makes it an ideal starting point for hikes in the nearby forests or along the river.

The town itself has many tourist attractions such as Bous Castle, a former hunting lodge from the 18th century, as well as St. Nicholas Church with its impressive baroque altar.

Cultural highlights can also be found here: The Museum Haus Ludwig displays a collection of works of contemporary art and design objects from all over the world.

For culinary specialities, we recommend a visit to the restaurant "Zum alten Bahnhof", which serves local specialities - including dishes with typical ingredients such as potatoes and sauerkraut.

If you like to be active, there are many ways to do so: Whether hiking through the surrounding forests or cycling on the well-marked routes - you can enjoy these activities when the weather is nice. In winter, there is also skiing on the nearby slopes.

But what to do when it rains? Bous has something to offer for that too! The indoor playground Funpark ensures fun for children of all ages or visit one of the many cosy cafés in town.

No matter what time of year you visit Bous, it is always worth a trip. The charming little town and its surroundings offer something for everyone - be it culture, nature or outdoor activities. We hope that this Travel Guide will help you with your planning and that we will be able to welcome you here soon!

    schöne Runde zwischen Bous und Sprengen. Das letzte Teilstück oberhalb der Landstraße L140 ist nicht mehr begehbar. Entweder den Fußweg direkt an der Landstraße wählen oder den Feldweg oberhalb.

    Spannender und abwechslungsreicher Weg, der ohne die Navigation nicht möglich ist, da er nicht offiziell ausgeschildert ist. Macht aber nichts, die Führung von Outdooractive läuft tadellos. Einzig als wir durch den Bauernhof gelaufen sind, war es etwas komisch ;-)

    Schöner und abwechslungsreicher Weg ohne Markierung. Mit dem Mobil-GPS und der Outdooractive APP sehr gut zu finden. Schattige Waldwege und Wegeteile mit Ausblicken wechseln sich ab. Im Sommer war ein kleiner Abschnitt wegen den Eichenprozessionsspannern gesperrt. Das war aber auch kein Problem und gut zu umgehen. Gerne wieder. Vielleicht würde es helfen wenn der Autor, der Tour einen besseren Namen geben würde. Über das Datum findet man sie auf dem Mobilgerät nicht besonders gut.
