This area is made up of two regions: Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland.
Rhineland-Palatinate is located in southwest Germany. The region borders North Rhine-Westphalia, Saarland, Hessen, Baden-Württemberg, Luxemburg, Belgium and France. The capital city of Rijnland-Palatinate is Mainz. This city, which radiates Old World charm, has a number of nice town squares and churches. The Imperial Cathedral (Kaiserdom) is a sure high point of any visit to the city. This 11th-century Romanesque cathedral is still in its original condition, which is rather unique.
This region is of course also known for the Mosel and Rhine rivers. The area is ideal for taking nice boat trips, and the bicycle routes are also great. There are romantic castles, nice spots for a picnic and nice little towns, an example of which is Cochem.
The Deutsche Weinstrasse leads to a hilly area with many vineyards. You’ll be able to visit, among many other areas, Bad Dürkheim. In September every year the Wurstmarkt is held here, which, despite the name which would make you think otherwise, celebrates the wine harvest. You can taste wine in different places along the route.The cities of Worms and Speyer are also close by. Both of these cities date from Roman times.
The second region is Saarland, whose capital is Saarbrücken. It borders France, Luxemburg and Rhineland-Pfalz. Saarbrücken is located on the Saar River and has a number of nice historic monuments such as a basilica and a palace. The area, including Völklingen, was previously one of great activity in the coal and steel industries. It is nice to visit the city, whose factories are on the Unesco World Heritage Sites list.
