Saarland is the smallest of the 16 German federal states both in area and population ( roughly 1 million). It has had quite an agitated history in the past and was only allowed to rejoin the Federal Republic in1957.
The name itself comes from the Saar river, a tributary of the Moselle River. It has borders with both France and Luxembourg. Relative to its size Saarland has the most forests and less densely populated. I was pleasantly surprised not to encounter so much traffic on country roads.
