Mettlach is attracting visitors from allover the world. One of the reasons is the variety of rare landscape impressions and the outstanding infrastucture enabling unforgettable interactive holidays.

Exploring the Landscape

After a just 2km walk from the hotel you are reaching the “Saarschleife”, an extrem loop of the Saar river, created by special geological formations, the most outstanding landscape of Saarland. From the viewing platform called “Cloef” in the village of Orscholz, one has the most magnificant view of the Saarschleife, surrounded by rock slopes and forested hills. Just opposite, hidden in the forest, you’ll find “Burg Monclair”,  a preferred place for short distance hiking, too. Of course, you can as well explore the Saar river by ship from the shipping pier in Mettlach, for example by a Saarschleifen round trip or a day tour from Merzig via Mettlach to Saarburg. Or you may take the only ferry in Saarland called “Welles” to continue hiking at the other side of the river. Ideal for relaxed walks in Mettlach are the romantic Abbey park with it’s little lake or the park opposite the river around chateau Saareck.
