Glan-Blies-Radweg

The Glan-Blies cycle route, which can also be cycled as a stage cycle route, runs for approx. 130 km through the beautiful river landscapes of the Glan and Blies. From Sarregueminnes in Lorraine, you cycle upstream along the Blies to the Glan and its confluence with the Nahe. Three countries say "Hello!", so to speak. Starting in France, the route takes you through the Bliesgau biosphere reserve in Saarland and on through scenic landscapes and towns in Rhineland-Palatinate. Mainly on former railroad lines, the Glan-Blies cycle path offers every cyclist carefree cycling pleasure and has been awarded four stars by the ADFC for years.

The Glan-Blies cycle path is characterized by the varied landscapes along the two rivers Glan and Blies. They characterize the cross-border Glan-Blies cycle path, which is mostly flat and mostly traffic-free, winding its way from Sarreguemines in Lorraine, France, via the Bliesgau biosphere reserve in Saarland to Staudernheim in the Northern Palatinate. You can enjoy idyllic river landscapes and occasionally encounter magnificent storks along the 130-kilometer route. Follow in the footsteps of the Romans, who once settled here, and experience the tranquil atmosphere of the Blies and Glan valleys. Countless churches and castles, small old towns and exciting industrial monuments provide cultural variety, while you can challenge yourself in between on a canoe or trolley trip. Five short stages on the four-star ADFC quality cycle route leave enough space to enjoy the beautiful area around the Glan-Blies cycle route at your leisure and explore it extensively.

Large parts of the route run along the route of the former Glantalbahn and also the former Bliestalbahn, which have been converted into cycle paths and are not only mostly flat, but also virtually traffic-free. This makes the route not only particularly enjoyable, but also ideal for occasional cyclists and families with children.The start and finish of the tour are well connected to the rail network. If you drive to the starting point by car, you can pick it up again by train at the end of the tour. However, you should note that not all of the individual stage destinations are connected to a train station. If you only want to do part of the tour or break off en route, you can use the train stations in Blieskastel, Homburg and Glan-Münchweiler in addition to the start and finish (Sarreguemines/F and Bad Sodernheim).
