April 29, 2025,Luxemburg, Tag 4: Müllerthal Trail: Wolfsschlucht bei Echternach sowie Felsenweg Südeifel

Our tour started today in Echternach, the oldest city in Luxembourg. Once we crossed the Sûre River, we were back in the German Southern Eifel region. First, however, we headed to the Luxembourg side, into the fantastic Wolf and Devil's Gorge. Then a quick detour to the Wäschekammer (laundry room) and via Weilerbach Castle up to the pigpens. There was …

Today we did the rock path no. 1 from Echternach. It is very beautiful, but also difficult. I don't know how many steps we climbed today. The weather was good. When it's raining or wet, some sections can be almost dangerous. Absolutely worth seeing 😊👋

This time I had packed my rain gear ☝🏻 because the weather was a bit crazy. In Echternach I had sleet. But no matter, it was still beautiful, I just love these rocks.
The advantage of the weather is that you are practically alone in the rock world.

After Bohemian Switzerland, now we discovered Little Switzerland. What a beautiful region, very similar to what we saw last week in the Czech Republic and Germany, but now with a blissful sun instead of buckets of rain! 😎

October 5, 2024,Wolfskloof - Hohllay Höhle vanuit Echterbachbruck

After a good night's sleep in the Gasthaus - pension zum Golfstübchen apartment and a delicious breakfast we set off. Really a fantastic walk, not too difficult or technical, but with a considerable distance. We deviated from the route after 8-9km to have a cup of coffee in Berdorf (where my cycling life began almost 40 years ago and where …

September 4, 2024,🇱🇺 🇩🇪 Müllerthal - Durch die Wolfsschlucht bei Echternach

Viking journey 7801: Müllerthal - simply "fairytale-like".

Hike D starts in Echternach. The free parking lot at the entrance to the town was closed due to construction work. The parking garage next door cost me €3 for 6 hours of parking.
