MULLERTHAL TRAIL, LUXEMBOURG (AUGUST 21 - 25)

Let's visit Luxembourg over the August Bank Holiday to hike part of the beautiful Mullerthal trail!

Nights: 4. Accommodation: twin-share and single occupancy rooms in comfortable cabins. Cost - £299 for twin share and £369 for single occupancy.

Often referred to as Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland, the Mullerthal Region - or Mëllerdall in Luxembourgish – owes its name to its hilly landscape reminiscent of Switzerland.

Dense woodlands criss-crossed by rushing streams, extraordinary biotopes with towering sandstone formations, narrow rocky ravines, mysterious caves and gorges and an amazing variety of plants and trees characterise this magical region.

The Mullerthal Trail with its 112 km of hiking trails passes through all the natural highlights of the region, through enchanting forests and valleys and passing by impressive canyons and bizarre rock formations.

This beautiful trail achieved the label "Leading Quality Trails - Best of Europe" and consists of three different loops, route 1, 2 and 3. Our plan is to hike the best parts of these three routes during our three full hiking days. We will take local (free) buses to/from the starting or finishing points of the hikes as needed.

ACCOMMODATION:

We have booked comfortable self catering cabins situated in a lovely holiday park in the cute little village of Berdorf, one of the main tourist centres in the Grand-Duchy. Cabins will be shared by 3 or 4 people and have twin-share and single occupancy rooms.

Berdorf is located on a vast tableland overlooking the valleys of the Black Ernz, the Sure and the Aesbach 300 acres of forest, only 6km from the medieval town of Echternach.

Come and join us to discover this hidden European hiking gem!
