Bettel, Bei der Schmëdd

This hike can very well be combined with a visit to the microbrewery Hinkelsbacher in Fouhren. The brewery produces its own beer, which can be enjoyed on site or taken away. A special highlight are the open weekends: in summer, weather permitting, a beer garden is set up in the brewery’s garden. In bad weather, drinks are served in the small brasserie located in the cellar. After a few hundred meters along the Our, the Bettel hiking trail leaves towards the southeast. Now it goes uphill to Marxberg. Along the way you will find a viewing pavilion. From there, on clear days, you can enjoy a beautiful view over several dozen kilometers. After a well-deserved break, the path continues uphill to the "white cross", a wayside cross. Here turn right and head to Fouhren. The path winds through the village up to the Bëttelerbësch. Once you reach the forest, you can breathe a sigh of relief: now it's all downhill. Shortly before arriving back in Bettel, you can admire the rebuilt old station building. In earlier times, the so-called "Benni", the narrow-gauge railway between Diekirch and Vianden, which ceased operation in 1948, ran there. Today the route is partially used as a cycle path.

The local hiking trails are marked with the abbreviations of the municipality where they start. The larger the number included in the marking sign, the longer the circular hiking trail. See for yourself the variety of local hiking trails and the different features of the Éislek.
