The Minett Trail is a 90-kilometer-long hiking trail running across the Minett region. In ten stages, you can experience smaller and larger towns as well as eight nature reserves. These impress with old forests and former open-cast mining areas. Due to the steep rock walls, the red earth, and mine entrances, they are unique in Luxembourg. On this section, you hike between the towns of Esch-sur-Alzette and Schifflange through the nature reserve "Lalléngerbierg - Brucherbierg" and thus through an important piece of history that has strongly shaped the region and both towns. This stage is particularly contrasting; on the one hand, you pass through barren lunar landscapes with distinct red soil. Then the path leads through lush, green forests, and with some luck, you will find the source of the "Marxeweiher" near Schifflange. The path is also very scenic, offering deep insights into the ever-changing region. Only a short detour off the path towards the "Kabaischens" offers, for example, a view over the new Belval district.

Discover on the traces of the ancient Romans the sites of Schifflange's history, from the location of a legion camp to the various churches and the landscape changes caused by ore mining. The "Réimerwee" leads through a unique environment shaped by its industrial past, where nature is gradually regaining control. Richly illustrated information boards provide numerous informative explanations. © Administration communale de Schifflange

The 1.4-kilometer-long squirrel path leads visitors along the slopes of the "Brucherbierg" in the south of Schifflange. On site, educational panels tell about the daily life of the smallest mammal in Luxembourg, and visitors can discover the many plant and animal species with which the squirrel shares its habitat. Children will have a great time here and can learn how much oxygen a tree produces daily how ivy can climb trees which type of grass only occurs in the forest and much more. Along the way, you can discover the unique climate and the rich geological history of the "Brucherbierg", where traces of mining can still be seen today.
