Schaumberg

Schaumberg is a mountain rising to 569 meters above sea level in Saarland, topped by a 37.5-meter observation tower. From the top, visitors can see across multiple regions and take in the surrounding landscape.

Archaeological digs on the plateau have uncovered traces of settlements from the Gallo-Roman period. These findings show that people have lived here for many centuries.

The mountain has long held meaning for people living in the surrounding region. Today, visitors can explore exhibitions about local heritage and cross-border connections within the tower.

A walking path called the Herzweg loops around the mountain for about 2.8 kilometers with information stops along the way. At the base, a restaurant offers a place to eat and rest.

A small memorial chapel built in 1930 stands on the summit and is open to visitors. Nearby is a distinctive tent-like building that holds up to 250 people for events.
