What defines riding in Saarland?

Saarland is a compact state in southwestern Germany shaped by centuries of coal mining and remarkable ecological renewal. Rolling vineyard hills and lush river valleys line the Saar and upper Moselle, where the wine of the Saar has long been cultivated. Its position at the crossroads of European cultures gives it a character unlike any other German state. Medieval towns, pilgrimage sites, and a celebrated street-theatre and magic festival round out a destination that balances industrial heritage with quiet, green landscapes.
