Saar-Nahe-Höhen cycle path: 81.6 km

From Güdingen an der Saar, the cycle path initially runs in an easterly direction through valley meadows past small excursion restaurants. After a few kilometers, a climb leads to the high-altitude Ensheim Airport. Following an old Roman path, you then continue on the heights of the Bliesgau towards Heckendalheim. The open regional landscape with its orchards and wide views is worth the climb. After a descent into the beautiful Alschbachtal, the route continues to the baroque town of Blieskastel. The cycle path continues north through the Kirkel Forest with its bizarre rock formations past Kirkel Castle to Bexbach. At the Saarland Mining Museum, visitors can travel underground to see old and new mining methods at authentic locations. A short, urban section leads through Neunkirchen, where the city's industrial culture and history can be experienced on themed trails. There are over 500 species of animals waiting for visitors in the Neunkirchen Zoo. The cycle path now leaves the urban area on a former Roman road and leads through a very scenic area with many distant views. Through the Oberthaler Bruch nature reserve with its great biodiversity you finally reach the Bostalsee. Idyllically embedded in the wooded low mountain landscape, the largest lake in southwest Germany is a popular excursion destination that offers numerous leisure activities. The Nahe cycle path, which connects the source of the river near Selbach with the mouth at Bingen am Rhein, runs past Bostalsee. The Saar-Nahe-Höhen cycle path can be easily combined with the northern passage of the Saarland cycle path and the Saar cycle path to form a round trip lasting several days.

Europäischer Mühlenradweg: 47,6 km

The cross-border route of the European Mill Cycle Path leads through the landscape of the Saar-Palatinate and Lorraine border area and is all about water. The cycle path leads through river valleys and forests as well as over ridges with wonderful views. From Zweibrücken the path first leads over a former railway embankment to the monastery town of Hornbach with the grave of St. Pirminius. In the Schwalb valley we then go briefly over to France. The return route of the circuit runs through the “Parr” (parish), a heavenly quiet farming landscape around the Bickenalb valley. There are over 10 mills along the way and are evidence of the milling trade that was once important in this region. The highlight is without a doubt the mill and saw museum at the Eschville mill in Volmunster. Here you can still see how grain and wood are processed using hydropower.
