Glan-Blies Cycle Route
The cross-border Glan-Blies Cycle Route runs for 130 km from Sarreguemines in Lorraine through the Bliestal valley and the Kuseler Musikantenland along the Glan to Staudernheim (Nahe). The route’s proximity to the rivers gives it a flat profile and also offers a unique range of very diverse landscapes. For long stretches, the path follows disused railway tracks, or runs parallel with the draisine railway line, away from busy roads. The route is therefore particularly suitable for families with children.
The Glan-Blies Cycle Route connects to the Saarland network in the south-west and merges onto the Nahe Cycle Route in the north. Between Waldmoor and Altenglan, it shares a section of the Rhineland-Palatinate Cycle Route.

Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
Waldmohr – Altenglan approx. 30 km
Varied landscapes and paths. From Waldmohr, the route continues along the former Glan Valley Railway. After Schönenberg-Kübelberg, it is worth taking a detour to Lake Ohmbachsee and the Diamond-Cutting Museum (alternative route 1). Here you can enjoy views of a natural area that has been untouched for many years. This cycle route is characterised by pretty towns, direct access to restaurants along the route, and quiet side streets with no traffic.
Altenglan - Staudernheim, approx. 40 km
From Altenglan, the cycle route runs largely parallel to the draisine railway line. The beautiful landscape contains a wealth of hidden gems for the cyclist to discover. The bike almost seems to coast along by itself through the Glan river valley. Anyone who fancies a little climb can pedal their way up the alternative route past Hirsauer Kapelle church. (Alternative route 2) There is plenty of hustle and bustle at Lauterecker train station – change onto the draisine railway line (reservation required), pick up the Lauter Valley Cycle Route or stop for some cool refreshment. The cycle route follows the Glan through the fields, where there is magic in the air. The next stop on the route is Meisenheim: the historic old town is well worth a detour. The mouth of the Nahe is already in sight as you reach the ruined monastery of Disibodenberg, where Hildegard von Bingen lived and worked. The Glan-Blies Cycle Route joins the Nahe Cycle Route at the draisine railway line booking office in Staudernheim.
