Father's Day in Saarland: The 10 best viewing points for your trip!
On Father's Day, which this year falls on May 26, 2025, many families and friends are drawn to the most beautiful viewpoints in Saarland. A popular destination is the treetop path in Orscholz, which offers a unique view of the impressive Saar loop. The path is 1,250 meters long and leads through a barrier-free environment that is suitable for families, including those with strollers or wheelchair users. The 42 meter high observation tower provides a panoramic view that showcases the beauty of the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park. There are also various learning and experience stations along the way that offer visitors insights into the regional flora and fauna. The treetop path is part of the Erlebnis Akademie AG and is open daily from May to June Saarbrücker Zeitung [Tours Saarland](https://www.touren.saarland/de/punkt/ outlookspunkt/baumwipfelpfad-saarschleife/61542857/).
Another excellent viewing point is Cloef, which is located directly below the treetop walk. This free viewing point offers a beautiful view from a height of 180 meters over the Saar loop and is ideal for relaxing breaks with seating in the middle of nature.
Different heights and perspectives
For outdoor enthusiasts, the Litermont Cross is a must-see. At a height of 414 meters, it offers a view of the Saar Valley all the way across to France. The connection with the Litermont Summit Tour provides a perfect opportunity for hiking and picnicking.
The Saarpolygon, a 25 meter high monument in Ensdorf, can also be reached via a free 30-minute walk. It commemorates the region's significant mining history and includes 130 steps leading to the observation deck.
The highest viewing point in Saarbrücken is the Schwarzenberg Tower, which is 46 meters high and can be climbed through 241 steps. Here too, visitors can expect a comprehensive view and a barbecue area nearby, which makes their stay even more pleasant.
Historical treasures and hidden gems
A little away from the tourist crowds is the Teufelsburg in Überherrn, a romantic castle ruin that was built from 1354 to 1360. It can be reached via a short walk or a premium circular trail and offers a green area for a picnic.
The “Beautiful View in Serrig” is a lesser-known but equally impressive viewpoint. Here hikers can climb 200 meters in altitude to enjoy a panoramic view of the Saar Valley.
Other favorite spots include Conny Hill in Körprich with views over the Nalbacher Valley and the Vogelfelsen in Saarhölzbach, which are suitable for experienced climbers. The bird rocks offer a covered viewing platform and are closed in summer due to the breeding season.
Finally, the Schaumberg Tower in Tholey, at 604 meters high, is an impressive place to admire the entire Saarland via barrier-free access. The region offers a variety of opportunities to discover the beauty of nature and the historical depth of the Saarland.
