The third Sunday in May belongs to all cycling enthusiasts, as the popular car-free experience day Saar-Pedal takes place then.
Between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, the roads between the Rhineland-Palatinate town of Konz and the Saarland city of Merzig are closed to all motor vehicle traffic, providing free passage for cyclists and skaters, who can fully enjoy the approximately 40-kilometer-long route. Those who wish to travel only in one direction or in sections can switch to the train that runs parallel to the route.
The lower Saar Valley is characterized by a green landscape with wooded slopes, rugged rocks, meadows, and floodplains, as well as sunny vineyards. It is therefore perfectly suited for the car-free experience day.
