Die Sieben-Weiher-Tour ist eine Halbtagestour mit vergleichsweise wenig Steigungsstrecken durch sehr schöne Täler und Wälder in der Stadt Blieskastel und den benachbarten Kommunen. Charakteristisch sind die vielen Weiher direkt an der Strecke. Mehrere sehr attraktive Picknick- und Einkehrmöglichkeiten lassen aus der Halbtagestour ganz von alleine oftmals eine Ganztagesunternehmung werden. Die 7-Weiher-Tour bietet sich wegen der beiden Bahnhöfe in St. Ingbert und Niederwürzbach besonders gut für eine An- und Abreise mit dem Zug an.

The 5 x 15 meters houseboat lies at anchor in the Osthafen marina, a mere 2-minute walk from the Daarler Wiesen nature reserve.

The agricultural enterprise Bauer Ehl has been situated in Saarland since 1996, growing strawberries and asparagus on a 10-hectare plot of land.

The „Kaltensteinpfad“, a Premium hiking trail labelled „Traumschleife“ (dream loop), has the shape of the figure eight. It leads past a historic horse trough, surrounded by majestic beech trees, the two “Kaltensteine”, impressive rock formations, and then up to the Hoxberg summit, whose 7,8 km long ascent is rather steep and strenuous. Different types of forest (e.g. primeval forest, enchanted forest) still show signs of the enormous destruction caused by two hurricanes in 1990. The Kaltenstein hiking trail is considered to be of intermediate difficulty; it was awarded 56 points by the German Hiking Institute (Deutsches Wanderinstitut).

The “Guldenschlucht” (florin gorge) is an impressive V-shaped valley with a tiny creek and enormous mottled sandstone boulders. The Saar-Moselle hiking trail leads through the gorge, passing over numerous little bridges and stairs, from Saarland to Rhineland-Palatinate. The canyon forest is primarily composed of beech trees. The gorge is also home to fire salamanders.

Der Gänseweg bietet neben der einmaligen Natur auch Einblicke in die vielfältige Kulturgeschichte des Bliesgaus.
