By SLOBODAN LEKIC | Stars and Stripes | Published: February 11, 2021 The middle of this year’s German winter may be a good time to visit the horseshoe-shaped meander on the Saar River called the Saarschleife. Normally, the area in Saarland near the bend in the river draws throngs of visitors.

German winter weather might also be a factor in keeping the hordes away. When I visited on a rainy day in February, my car was the only one in the large parking lot next to the tourist office in the village of Orscholz.
