E-Velo-Tour: Mosel-Saar-Rendezvous

The landscape of the western Saarschleifenland in the border triangle of Germany, France and Luxembourg is dominated by the Moselle and Saar rivers and the hills in between. This e-bike tour explores this open, park-like landscape and passes several top sights along the way, starting at the train station in Perl in the immediate vicinity of the banks of the Moselle opposite the European town of Schengen in Luxembourg. Through Perl and the picturesque wine village of Sehndorf with its stately vineyards, the route leads through vineyards and orchards up to the Saargau. In Borg, the Roman villa complex is definitely worth a visit, as it is the only completely reconstructed Roman estate of this size in the world. The tour leads through meadows and fields to Orscholz and the Cloef, the famous vantage point overlooking the Saar. A visit to the treetop path there provides an even steeper view of the river meander and a stop at the Regiothek in the Cloef Atrium promises interesting wine tastings. Via Faha and Tettingen-Butzdorf with the Saarland Distillery Museum, the trail leads back over the heights of the Saargau with sweeping views as far as Luxembourg. Finally, the route descends back into the Moselle valley. Nennig is a good place for another stop, as the largest Roman mosaic north of the Alps can be admired here. The route then leads along the Moselle back to Perl train station, where you can relax and recap your e-bike tour over a glass of Perl wine.
