Sunny, light southerly wind, 27 degrees. The mix of industrial culture and lots of countryside with the highlight of the Saarschleife makes today's tour exciting. The path is well-developed everywhere, even with good detour markings, and therefore completely senior-friendly. Particularly idyllic path
