Pitch on the pony farm
An equestrian farm in the Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve near Kirkel, directly on the Blies river. In the morning, there's a clatter in the stable; during the day, cyclists roll past on the Bliestal recreational route. Riding lessons are available as an add-on. The farm includes the country restaurant Die Scheune. A short walk away, water buffalo and Konik wild horses graze in the Höllengraben nature reserve alongside Heck cattle. Space for motorhomes, caravans or tents. Saarbrücken is about twenty kilometers away.1

Bliestal cycle path
The cycle path follows an old railway line through the Blies valley, flat and without climbs. It starts almost at the farm; the easy afternoon outing with children.
Höllengraben nature reserve
In the reserve, Heck cattle, water buffalo and Konik wild horses keep the wet meadows open. Just a few minutes' walk away, best for early-morning wildlife watching.
Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve
A UNESCO-recognised biosphere reserve with orchard meadows and limestone grassland. Wild orchids bloom here in early summer; a destination for quiet walks.
