Saarland
Geography
Saarland is in the southwestern portion of Germany. It is bordered by the state of Rhineland-Palatinate to the north and east and by the countries of France to the south and southwest, and Luxembourg to the northwest.
Saarland is named after the Saar River, a tributary of the Moselle River (itself a tributary of the Rhine), which runs through the state from the south to the northwest. One third of the land area of the Saarland is covered by forest. The state is generally hilly; the highest mountain is the Dollberg.
