The forest nature trail around the Alte Burg is ideal for all nature lovers; you can also go mountain biking here. In summer, you can cool off in the open-air swimming pool or take a canoe trip on the Saar.

Even if it rains, there is plenty to do in Riegelsberg: The indoor swimming pool offers bathing fun for the whole family and the cinema invites you to a cosy film evening.

Where is it most beautiful in Riegelsberg? A special highlight is certainly the observation tower on the "Alte Burg" hill, from where you have a breathtaking view of the town and its surroundings.
