Beaufort, Op der Gare

The Flying Dutchman is the oldest Disco in Luxembourg still keeping the original alternative spirit for over 40 years. We are working on providing you with outstanding cultural experiences as well as the traditional DJ programme.

The 6 km long educational route "Man & Stone" runs along an old railway line into the quarries of Beaufort and Reisdorf. Information panels provide details about the extraction, use, and transport of sandstone as well as its properties. A detailed brochure about the hiking route is available at the tourist information. The start and end of the route are at the primary school in Beaufort. Alternatively, the route can also be started in Grundhof.

From the youth hostel in Beaufort, the route first descends into the valley of the Schwarzen Ernz. From there, a strenuous climb follows to the town of Berdorf. After a short section along the Sauer, the impressive abbey town of Echternach is reached. On the further course of the route, a longer section with moderate ascent follows on a former railway line, which passes through a lit tunnel near Bech. Across open pasturelands, the route continues past the towns of Graulinster and Reuland to Heffingen. From there, it goes along the Weiße Ernz towards Larochette, where a rest and a visit to the castle are recommended. Then it continues along the river through Reisdorf to Dillingen and returns to the starting point via a final steep climb. Photo: © Mullerthal Cycling / Lutz

The 11 municipalities of Beaufort, Bech, Berdorf, Consdorf, Echternach, Fischbach, Heffingen, Larochette, Nommern, Rosport-Mompach and Waldbillig are part of the Nature & Geopark Mëllerdall since 2016. About 25.500 inhabitants live on 256 km ². Along the main roads, signs with the Nature & Geopark logo point to the region. The Luxembourg law says that only regions with a particular cultural and natural heritage can become a nature park. Since the Mëllerdall Region has a specific geological heritage, it is also a geopark. Imposing rock formations, deep valleys and vast plateaus characterize this region, where the Luxembourg sandstone forms one of the most imposing sandstone landscapes in Western Europe. The Nature & Geopark promotes the sustainable use of this heritage while supporting the economic, social and ecological development. It strengthens regional cooperation and provides a platform for cross-border projects. The Nature & Geopark Mëllerdall stands for its inhabitants and is not a protected zone, a geology park or a park bounded by a fence. The Mëllerdall UNESCO Global Geopark has also become a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2022. The geological formations are unique and not for nothing UESCO-designated.
