Highlight • Waterfall

Very beautiful waterfall with three channels. You can best admire them from the rock in front of it. The bridge above the waterfall completes the picture. A beautiful composition.

Schiessentümpel Waterfall and Stone Bridge

Highlight • Waterfall

Another iconic highlight of the region. It is not a high waterfall by any means, yet with the combination of the bridge and the flora it makes for a truly wonderful place.

After leaving Reims early, we still had time for a walk in the Mullertal Valley in Luxembourg.
I'd heard about it before, but today it finally worked out.
It's a very beautiful place, I'll definitely come back.

Hi Komootler, in Müllertal there is an old bridge with a small waterfall. There is also a nearby parking lot for the tourist buses. Because this highlight is one of the top places in Luxembourg. We hiked there from our pitch. There were even bathers in front of the waterfall. The hiking trail was again lined with grandiose rock walls. …

My condition is actually too poor for much height difference, but we were stubborn. It was great, but I arrived back at my campervan seriously overheated. There were a few diversions, no idea why.

📍 Location: Mullerthal Trail, Luxembourg
🚶‍♂️ Distance: 5 km
🧘‍♂️ Theme: Nature, wonder & connection

🗣️ Voice-over / description:

No rush today.
No goals.
Just walking,
to the rhythm of the landscape.

The Mullerthal welcomes me with its rock formations,
babbling brooks,
and moss that shines in the shade.

My legs can no longer climb, but on the last day we are here we still enjoy the surroundings and I had thought of more because it was busy.

Picked out a stretch of rock on the Mullerthal Trail. Past the Schiessentümpel to Heringer Millen. Everything is there: water, rocks, narrow paths. The street remains within earshot, but that hardly bothers you in view of the wild romance.
