Kanzem, several times with the best places in the competition„ Our village should become nicer“ excellently, is a small wine-growing municipality with approx. 550 inhabitants.

Kanzem lies regional attractively with the lower Saar at the exit of the big Saar loop, the so-called Wiltinger Saar curves. This section of the Saar was held till this day in a natural state, so that the old brook bed remained unchanged and could be expelled as a nature reserve. By the creation of the Saar canal between Schoden and Hamm Kanzem is since that time in an artificially created island position.

The idyllic situated old arm with the Saar foothills forms together with former gravel pits a coherent nature reserve.
