Beschreibung
From the starting point at the Cloef Atrium, the cycle tour leads along the Saarland cycle path through forests and meadows towards Faha. From Faha, the route continues to Kesslingen. Past the restored Jakobsbrunnen fountain, there is a gourmet station at the Kesslingen refuge with regional delicacies to get to know the flowing delights of the region. The listed village chapel of St. James dates back to the 18th century with its ornate slate tower, late Gothic choir and neo-Gothic portal from the 19th century with a split spire (tent roof, continued on eight sides with onion domes, lanterns and spire) and a wooden pillar altar with a Roman inscription stone as the base of the altar. A group of figures made of oak wood depicts the "seven sleepers" and is a reminder of Keßlingen as a place of pilgrimage in earlier times. The Keßlingen chapel is closely linked to the Way of St. James through its patron saint, St. James.
The route continues through Oberleuken to Borg. The Roman villa in Borg is a real highlight of the tour. It is the only completely reconstructed area of an ancient villa complex; even in Italy, the heartland of the Roman Empire, there is nothing comparable. With its gatehouse, museum-like manor house, Roman baths, latrine, Roman kitchen, craftsmen's huts and Roman gardens, the Villa Borg is the ideal setting for experiencing everyday life in Rome. At the end of the tour, an original Roman dish awaits you in the taver
