We walk eastwards out of the village and down to the Syr river. On the national hiking trail "Sentier de la Moselle" (marking: yellow rectangle) we walk along the river before ascending the wooded slope shortly before the Fielsmillen. Through the Schlammbaach valley, over the Foolgruet, and across the motorway we reach Mertert. We cross the railway tracks, walk through the park and along the Syr until reaching the Moselle bank. Along the riverside promenade, we arrive at the destination of our hike: the station of Wasserbillig, which we reach via an underpass.

This exciting trail leads mostly through the Manternacher Fiels nature reserve. From the starting point at Burfeld, you climb up into the nature reserve and enter an impressive ravine forest. The location of the forest on the shady slope of the "Fielsmillen" ensures high humidity and coolness. Deadwood lies above a sea of limestone boulders, all of which are covered in thick layers of moss. The remains of an old mill can be found in the Syr valley. Above the former timber mill, in the middle of the forest, is the Manternacher Fiels vineyard. A little later, the mighty limestone cliffs are the next destination. The rocks, which are covered in ivy, lichen and moss, tower up to 50 metres high. Behind the Michaelslay, over 100 steps carved into the rock lead further upwards. The next highlight is the viewpoint on the Lelliger Plateau, followed by a delightful descent through former vineyard terraces, where the old steps of the vineyard walls are used for hiking.
