An exceptional hiking accommodation! The Cabaic (lux. for cottage) "La Sauvage" was a former workers' house and has been converted into exceptional accommodation. This and other Kabaisecher can be booked here: www.kabaisecher.lu

A rather unusual "Kabaischen" of the regional hiking trail "Minett Trail" is in Dudelange. Here is the hiker's hut, an elaborate steel and wood construction, directly on the water surface. A large picture window allows a fascinating view of the water tower, but those who prefer privacy can relax behind curtains in the sleeping alcove. A total of four beds are available. The cooling basin once served as part of the steelworks that processed the ore mined in the surrounding mining areas such as the Haard-Hesselsbierg-Staebierg opencast mine. You can book your overnight stay on the water on kabaisecher.lu

Six places to sleep await curious guests here, where decades ago the lorry wagons were weighed full of the precious, ore-bearing Minette rock. The old ironworks company administration building in Tétange is steeped in history: from here the stone went to all the steelworks in the region, creating part of the wealth that made up the Grand Duchy in the 20th century. Like many places in the Minett region, this historic building has now become something new: one of the Minett Trail Kabaisercher. You can book an overnight stay in this Kabaisches at www.kabaisercher.lu.

The perfect balancing act between luxury and naturalness: in the Kabaisches in Bergem, one of a total of eleven hiking huts along the regional hiking trail, the focus is on the environment and sustainability. The little huts are made from recycled cardboard. The walls are made of 24 layers of cardboard that are wrapped around a mold in a giant machine, much like the winding of a bobbin. Hence the name "Wikkelhouse". The Wikkelhouses consist of individual segments that have been put together flexibly and creatively like building blocks. The Kabaisches can be booked at www.kabaisecher.lu.
