Echternach

Auto-Pédestre hiking route Echternach Centre

The hike starts right in the middle of Echternach's old town, at the basilica. The first ascent of the route is challenging and is rewarded with a spectacular view over Echternach from the so-called Trooskneepchen. The path continues through the forest to the impressive rock formation "Wollefsschlucht". You should allow enough time here to admire and explore. After crossing the Wollefsschlucht coming from Echternach, you can climb to the Paulsplatte to the left or to the "Bildcheslee" viewpoint on the right with views into the Sauer valley. The second half of the route now leads downhill, first along the renatured Aesbaach down to the Sauer and then follows the river to the Echternach city park and back to the starting point.
