What to expect

  1. Saarburg
    Pass by
    Start at the Fruchtmarkt, Saarburg's historic market square, where the Boemund-Brunnen fountain recalls the powerful Archbishop who shaped this town.
  2. Historisches Rathaus
    Pass by
    Pass the historic Rathaus (City Hall), which has served as the administrative heart of Saarburg for centuries — a symbol of civic power in a town long shaped by ecclesiastical and noble patrons.
  3. Saarburg
    Pass by
    Am Markt (Market Square) is the beating heart of Saarburg's old town — a lively public space that has hosted trade, civic life, and community gatherings since medieval times.
  4. Saarburg
    Pass by
    St. Laurentius Church stands as Saarburg's main Catholic parish church — its tower visible from across the Saar valley, a testament to the enduring influence of the Church in this historically ecclesiastical region.
  5. Burg Saarburg
    Pass by
    Your tour concludes at Burg Saarburg — the hilltop castle ruins that have watched over this Saar river town for nearly a thousand years, offering sweeping views of the valley below.
  6. Saarburg
    Pass by
    At the Klein Venedig (Little Venice) viewpoint, admire Saarburg's charming lane of half-timbered houses straddling the Leukbach stream — one of the most photographed spots in the region.
  7. Saarburg
    Pass by
    The Buttermarkt (Butter Market) is one of Saarburg's charming historic squares, once a lively hub of daily trade where locals gathered to buy and sell dairy and farm produce.
  8. Amuseum Saarburg
    Pass by
    The Amüseum occupies a beautifully restored historic mill building — the Former Electoral Mill — on the Leukbach stream, now home to an interactive exhibition celebrating the history, culture, and craftsmanship of Saarburg and the surrounding region.
  9. Saarburg
    Pass by
    A memorial stone marks the site of Saarburg's former synagogue, destroyed during Kristallnacht in 1938. This quiet spot invites reflection on the town's Jewish community and the broader tragedy of the Holocaust.
  10. Saarburg Waterfall
    Pass by
    The Saarburg Waterfall is one of Germany's most unusual urban waterfalls — the Leukbach stream plunges right through the heart of the old town, a dramatic natural feature unique to Saarburg.
