Saar Loop Tour

Right at the beginning of the trip, the Mettlach lock gently lifts the ship. Now you glide through the nature reserve of the 7 km long Saar Loop. The river performs a 300° loop here. Our ship passes the small ferry and turns around at Dreisbach. The trip ends back in Mettlach – an opportunity to visit the Villeroy & Boch Ceramics Museum and the Abbey Brewery.

King John Tour

From Saarburg, we set off into one of the most charming sections of the River Saar. The trip is named after the blind King John. His final mistake was to ride blindly into battle, but this did nothing to diminish his fame – on the contrary. Before the Serrig lock, we turn back. Passing the town and castle of Saarburg, we turn one last time – with a view of the Ockfen vineyards.
