City Information

Homburg

Homburg is a town in the German state of Saarland, close to the country's border with France. Homburg offers travelers a unique attraction in the Schlossberghöhlen, an underground complex of 17th-century sand mines. Visitors can take a guided tour of the tunnels and caves to learn about the site's long history: from 250-million-year-old footprints in the red sandstone to the mines' use as air raid shelters in World War II. After your trip underground, get some fresh air on a hike to the Karlsberg Castle. The castle lies mostly in ruin now, but the forest trails in the area are regal in their own right.

For younger travelers in your group, Homburg has a few exciting kid-friendly activities too. Gulliver-Welt is a park just outside of town with miniatures of world-famous buildings and a playground to enjoy. Fun Forest AbenteuerPark Homburg is perfect for older kids who embrace a little adrenaline. Ziplines, rope courses, and a scenic lake ensure a memorable adventure for the family.
