The cycle path is approx. 55 km long, sometimes on the Luxembourg side, sometimes on the German side, along the border river Sauer from Wasserbillig/Langsur via Echternach and Bollendorf.
At Wallendorf, the Sauer bids farewell to Germany and meanders via Reisdorf into Oesling in Luxembourg.
The path leads through a unique natural landscape, there are hardly any differences in altitude along the Sauer, so the route is also suitable for the untrained.
