The VeloRoute SaarLorLux covers around 480 kilometers through the tri-border region of Germany, France, and Luxembourg.
The VeloRoute SaarLorLux connects the cities of Saarbrücken, Trier, and Luxembourg in a large circular route. It uses the valleys of the Saar, Mosel, and Sauer, but also repeatedly crosses over the heights of the watersheds into the next valley. The Rhineland-Palatinate route sections Saarhölzbach - Saarburg - Konz - Trier - Igel - Wasserbilligerbrück - Metzdorf run entirely on the river bike paths of the Mosel and the Saar.
