The trip continues via Krutweiler through the Saar valley to Staadt. A narrow road leads up to Kastel.

The route continues along the B51 downstream to Irsch. The wine village lies comfortably spread out in the former Saar valley. Along the K137 you come to Ockfen with the famous vineyard "Ockfener Bockstein", which produces top-quality wines. Along the Saar you reach Schoden, located in a romantic river bend.
