Starting right in the middle of Echternach's old town: at the basilica. The first (and most strenuous) ascent of the hike is rewarded with a unique view over Echternach. Shortly afterward follows the next highlight: the Wollefsschlucht. The Wollefsschlucht is a steep, smooth rock crevice through which the hiking trail winds. There is much to see and marvel at here. The route leads mostly through the forest in the first half. One should not miss the "Geierslee", a viewpoint with a wooden pavilion, from where you have a wide view over the Sauer valley. From here the trail descends into the Sauer valley, along which it continues for a while. In the end, the path leads into Echternach's city park. Through the outer grounds of the former abbey, you return to the basilica. The trail includes some more challenging sections, such as the climb to Troosnkneppchen, the stairs in the Wollefsschlucht, and the descent from the Geierslee.
