Enjoy the leisurely ride in one of the comfortable 50 double armchairs completely renewed in 2013. From a lofty height you look out over the beautiful Saar Valley. The chairlift is well prepared for transporting your bicycles.
Near the valley station there is a bicycle rental. Approximately 700 m drive between the city of Saarburg and the mountain station.
Directly next to the mountain station is the summer toboggan run. From the Warsberg there are wonderful walks to interesting destinations.
So it is only about 40 minutes on downhill hiking trails to Greifvogelpark with its flight demonstrations.
Or explore the nearby Weinlehrpfad from the Warsberg, from which you can also reach the Saarburg's old town.
Attractions
Starting from the mountain station of the chair lift, you can reach many attractions.
It offers a large network of hiking trails with numerous viewpoints over the Saarburg region. Feel like above the clouds and look at the world from above.
We transport bicycles with you for free. Thus, you have the opportunity to upgrade your bike tour, in which you start on the Warsberg or continue your tour. From here you can quickly reach the Greifvogelpark or Mannebach with its brewery and cheese factory. Even destinations like Nittel on the Moselle and Luxembourg are worth a nice trip by bike.
Further information is available from Saar-Obermosel-Touristik with their bicycle package.
Right next to the mountain station you will find a restaurant with a wonderful panoramic view and the summer toboggan run.
