Saar River Overnight Bike Ride

Bicycle 110 km from France to Konz through the Saar valley, one of the most attractive regions in Germany.

On this 2 day bike ride through Saarland, you will pedal past many historic sights including the Saarbrücken Castle, the hexagonal fortress in Saarlouis and the Völklinger Ironworks, as well as famous scenery including the panoramic Saar Bend. Over 90 km of your route along mostly paved bike paths and trails will be comfortably car free. This one way ride is mostly flat, and suitable for younger riders with the endurance for long distance bicycling, and your hotel in Merzig will provide you with a hearty breakfast on Sunday morning as well. Don’t worry about carrying clothes and supplies either, a chase van will meet you at various points along your route and transport any unnecessary weight to the hotel for you, allowing your muscles to get the maximum performance.
