Magnificent views, wild and romantic stream valleys, idyllic forest landscapes - this is the interesting mix offered by the Schaumberg Table Tour, which has been awarded premium hiking trail status. The hike over the 569-metre-high Schaumberg, the "Saarland's local mountain", offers sweeping views of the Hunsrück mountain ranges, across the undulating Saar-Nahe highlands and into neighboring France. Narrow, earthy paths meander along its steep, densely wooded flanks. The Tafeltour winds through a wonderful landscape with lush vegetation that captivated Celts, Romans, knights and monks centuries ago. Worthwhile detours include Tholey Abbey, which looks back on a history dating back to the 7th century, the Theulegium Museum and the Blasius Chapel with a 700-year history, which was built in its current form in 1716.
