With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Saarbruecken, 17 miles away, has to offer. Saarbruecken Castle, Ludwigskirche and Moderne Galerie alone justify the drive out here. Don’t skip Saarburg either! Just 18 miles away, Saarburg Castle, Egon Mueller Winery and Saarburger Chairlift are must-sees here.
