Best time of day to come see Saarschleife is at sunset - the Mr & I made a stop before our dinner…read moreat Landidyll Landhotel Saarschleife ( it is within walking distance to the restaurant ). There is a parking lot up the hill, for those seeking a longer walk but also very close to the lookout point but we were on a time crunch to make the sunset so we chose the closer lot
There were people already there with their tripods set up to capture the lovely, tranquil, valley and if the natural beauty wasn't enough, we also lucked into a transport ship rounding the bend as the sun was setting....the river is used to transport coal & other heavy items by the very ships we saw that evening
The Mr advised me Saarschleife is 1 of the famous sights in the Saar region & the Saar loop is considered the symbol of the Saarland....& I can see why....just lovely!
