Saarburg

Saarburg lies along the Leuk stream in the Saar valley, where vine-covered slopes rise above a compact old town near the Luxembourg border. At its centre, the Leuk drops about 20 metres through the town, powering historic watermills in the Buttermarkt quarter before joining the Saar. The ruins of Saarburg Castle occupy a spur above the houses; the fortress was established in the 10th century and gave the town its name. Saarburg belongs to the Moselle wine region, and local Riesling is an enduring part of its culinary culture.
