Völklingen
An industrial town on the French-German border, Völklingen is known for its UNESCO World Heritage-listed Völklinger Hütte, an ironworks-turned popular museum. But there’s plenty more to do and see in Völklinger, whether it’s strolling along the river Saar, going hiking in the nearby woodlands or sampling local cuisine in the town’s cafes. Anyone looking for a Völklinger hotel should look no further than the modern, stylish Leonardo Hotel Völklinger-Saarbrücken, which offers a comfortable, convenient base for holidaymakers and business travellers.
Get your bearings
There’s no better way to experience Völklingen than to visit the landmark Völklinger Hütte ironworks. This concrete plant lets visitors step back in time as they follow the ironworks from its beginnings to today, via its below-ground shed all the way to the blast furnace viewing platform. The ore shed roof offers spectacular views over Völklinger, and don’t miss the water tower, which can hold up to 3 million litres of water.
Don’t miss
For a total change of pace, take the train to neighbouring Saarbrücken, where the Old Town is home to open-air markets, cafes and gift shops, as well as a beautiful Basilica. A short walk away lies the Europa Galerie, an upmarket shopping mall with high-end and mainstream brands.
While you’re there
Hire a car and head to Cloef, a viewpoint over the famed Saarschleife, a hairpin gorge where the Saar river loops around a mountain. Those wanting to stay active can purchase a ticket for the Treetop Walk Saarschleife, a magical treetop boardwalk that bends through the forest towards Saarschleife, with age-appropriate activity stations designed to keep kids entertained along the way. Intrepid explorers, meanwhile, can take a boat out to visit the ruins of Montclair Castle and the Church of St. Gangolf, both located on the Saar Loop.
