I think the place is called Saarschleife. I remember first seeing a photo of the place in the coffee table book by Rainer Kiedrowski and Klaus Viedebantt about German scenery the German Embassy gave me for doing well in German in the matriculation examination (they probably sent one to everybody who got the highest grade in the exam, to be given in the graduation ceremony at school).
The soap bubbles in the last are a nice random touch.
But is the bird an eagle?

I stood at that exact place last summer. It is beautiful!
Avalus, why didn’t you come for coffee?
Yep, Ice Swimmer got it right. Our probably most famous sight.

Right answer paid with your parents’ taxpayer money from 25+ years ago. I wonder if the German Embassy or Goethe-Institut still sends gifts like that to kids graduating from upper secondary school, based on their success in the national final exam (I think kind of like Abitur in Germany). If it’s one/school, that would be around 374 books now.
