🌼🌼 Lellingen Daffodil Hike (12km) 🌼🌼

Hello Friends!

There is a forest in the north of Luxembourg, where at this time of the year millions of wild daffodils are blooming.

It's an incredible view, almost impossible to capture in a photo.

CFL is playing with us these days; there is either "Schienenersatzverkehr" between Luxembourg and Echternach or between Echternach and Wilwerwiltz.

The replacement bus takes twice as long as we would need by car, that's why it is a full "car pool exercise" this time.

We will need carpooling anyway if we want to leave the country once in a while, so let's get used to it!

We will start in Lellingen, and we will partially follow the "Via Botanica", which is dedicated to the daffodils that grow only in that area in such large numbers.

As usual, I've optimized the path a bit in terms of the distance to reach the picnic spot after about 7km.
The weather will not be that great, no rain, but way too cold for a long picnic, so we will leave before we get too cold.

We will then go back across the same yellow paradise and enjoy the view again, from a different perspective, then all the way down back to Lellingen.

Meeting Point:
We will meet at the start of the "Eisleck pad Lellingen".

Passengers may bring a pair of clean shoes for the return, although it's not expected to be extremely muddy this time.
But you never know, you may want to be allowed to be a passenger with the same driver again in the future :)

Drivers: You may need to plan 5-10 minutes for parking; it's a tiny village.

Passengers: When you add yourself to a car and don't remove yourself from the waiting list, then I will clean up the duplicate name from the waiting list at some point. Don't be scared if you get a message that you have been removed; you will still be in the car.
Unless the driver canceled their trip in total, better check, but don't add yourself again unless your driver is gone :)

Public Transport:
As a fall-back in case you can't get a seat in a car, you can take Bus L11, leaving at 8:44 from "Gare Rocade, Quai 6" (back side of the Gare, near "Rotondes").
You will arrive in Ettelbrück at 09:58, then take the train RE 3809 towards "Troisvierges".

You need to get off at Wilwerwiltz (10:34), then go left, cross the railroads, cross the river, and find the "Autopedestre", following it clockwise (going left) until Lellingen.
This will take you less than 20 minutes, and you will meet the rest of the group there.

Disclaimer:
The hike is at your own risk, and please make sure to wear proper shoes and bring some water for yourself!

Looking forward to hiking with you!

Jens.
