The Attert cycle path is the perfect route for family outings. This exciting group adventure starts in Pétange and then follows the tracks of the old Attert line, the railway line that used to connect Pétange and Ettelbruck, for most of the route. Now you ride literally on the border between Belgium and Luxembourg. Soon the route adventure takes a new turn. You follow the traces of the famous Charly, an old narrow-gauge railway that leads towards the sept châteaux (seven castles). Intrepid cyclists now cross a valley with mighty castles and fortresses—here, nobles once built their strongholds, such as the château-fort de Hollenfels or the baroque château d'Ansembourg. Further along the path, one encounters another magnificent structure—a 700-meter long illuminated tunnel through Luxembourg sandstone—and experiences a surprising and interesting twist.
