Waterfall from the River Leuk becoming a tributary of the River Saar |
THE city of Saarburg lies on the bank of the Saar River, near the junction with the Mosel River. The outstanding feature of the city is a deep gorge and waterfall running through the middle of the city. In the medieval period it powered three mills; in the early twentieth century a dynamo was added to provided electrical power to the city. The waterfall represents a medieval diversion of the River Leuk into the city for reasons that remain obscure.
