Search flights from SCN to LUX
Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park
Aerial perspective of the densely forested low mountain range characterized by deep valleys and ridges.
Saarschleife (Saar Loop)
The most famous landmark of the region, where the Saar River performs a dramatic 180-degree turn near Mettlach.
Moselle Valley
The border crossing between Germany and Luxembourg, defined by steep, terraced vineyards and river traffic.
Grevenmacher
A picturesque view of the Luxembourgish town known for its wine production and its bridge crossing into Germany.
The Saarschleife is the star of the show; look for it roughly 5 to 7 minutes after departure. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the river curves and the mist often lingers in the valley, creating a cinematic atmosphere. Avoid sitting directly over the wing if possible, as the flight altitude is low and visibility is key.
