Course of the way

The Saar-Blies-Weg begins in Saarbrücken at the residential area "Am Homburg". It first leads to the coal saddle of the Saarkohlenwald . The route runs past the Saarland University at the level of the Kohlensattels until shortly before Elversberg . The path leads from here into the valley, passes the Spieser Mühle and reaches the Wellesweiler district of Neunkirchen via the Kasbruchtal valley , where the hiker crosses the Blies . Now the path rises again to reach the Oster valley after about 6 km at the Hanauer Mühle . The path continues to Fürth in the Ostertal , crosses the Oster and continues towards St. Wendel . On this section it is congruent with the Saarland circular hiking trail . Past St. Wendel, the path continues north via Leitersweiler , Pinsweiler into the Nahe valley , which is reached at Nohfelden. Here the path joins the Nahe path , another supraregional hiking trail in Saarland.
