Cloef, Scenic viewpoint near Mettlach, Germany.
The Cloef observation platform extends over a steep cliff, providing a full view of the Saar River's horseshoe-shaped curve through the surrounding forest.
The geological formation of the Saar River loop began millions of years ago when water eroded the quartzite rocks, creating this natural meander.
The observation point attracts numerous photographers and artists throughout the year who capture the changing colors of the forest and river landscape.
The viewing platform includes interpretive signs, benches, safety railings, and remains open daily from sunrise to sunset without admission fees.
From an elevation of 180 meters above the river, visitors can observe the complete 180-degree turn the Saar River makes around the wooded peninsula.
