Montclair Castle
Burg Montclair
A medieval castle ruin on the ridge inside the U-bend of the Saar Loop, reachable on foot from below the Kloff viewpoint.
Montclair Castle was built in the 15th century on a narrow ridge embraced by the Saar Loop. Rivers flow around it on three sides, giving it a commanding position. Parts of its walls and towers survive today, and from the top of the tower you can look over the river bend. The castle can only be reached on foot, via hiking trails from Mettlach or the ferry landing. The one-way hike takes about 1 hour and is often combined with the Saar Loop circuit hike. The castle has simple food service, and its opening hours are irregular.
Opening hours
Exterior open all day; tower and dining seasonally open
