There is a new way to explore Luxembourg since Europe’s most modern tram service and a new funicular railway started service in December 2017. The tram runs along the prestigious avenue J.F. Kennedy in the Kirchberg area, and is served by the Pfaffenthal-Kirchberg funicular which provides a link to the national train network. A few minutes’ walk through the valley from this train station brings you to a stunning panoramic lift to the upper town centre. Once at the top, you’re only a short walk from the old town, a Unesco world heritage site. Thus you move from the ultra-modern to the historic in just a few minutes. The glass elevator connects the "Pescatore" park located in the city centre to the Pfaffenthal area at the bottom of the Alzette valley. The ride in the glass elevator features sweeping views (71m high) for pedestrians and cyclists alike. Using the elevator is free of charge.

ATTENTION! PC 2 is diverted at several points. The detours are signposted locally. The cycle path begins in the capital city of the country, Luxembourg City. Lovers of modern architecture will fully enjoy passing through the Kirchberg district. After leaving the capital region behind, the landscape changes: you reach the "Little Luxembourg Switzerland." This area is characterized by dense forests with spectacular rock formations created by erosion. Whether dark, impressive rock crevices or magnificent waterfalls - this region offers remarkable natural landscapes in abundance. The majority of the route runs along an old railway track, on which the "Chareli" operated until the late 1950s. Along the way, relics from this era can be discovered - including old station buildings and a tunnel about 200 meters long. The route ends in Echternach, the historical and cultural capital of the region. Take the time to explore the abbey, the Roman villa, the city walls, and narrow alleys that make up the charm of this town, which has preserved a medieval flair.
