Bollendorf-Pont, Pont

The path starts in Bollendorf-Pont and first leads through a residential area. Then it gently ascends with alternating forest and open landscapes. Shortly before the town of Weilerbach, the path crosses the national road N10. Then it goes down into the valley to the Sauer, which forms the border river between Luxembourg and Germany. In Weilerbach, you reach the beautiful ancient bridge called Alfred-Töpfer Bridge. You cross this and now walk along the German side by the Sauer. At many points, the path goes over narrow trails. The town of Bollendorf is now in sight. There, you cross the former border bridge and return to your starting point.

This path starts at the N10 (parking lot) with a steep ascent into the forests, during which you will enjoy a beautiful view of the Sauer valley. Once in the forest, spectacular rock formations await, accompanying the hiker for several kilometers until the path descends again into the Sauer valley. From here, the path runs pleasantly flat along the Sauer, with beautiful views back to the opposite side towards the starting point.

The starting point of the hike is located opposite the gas station in Bollendorf-Pont. First, you walk along the Sauer for a while until you cross the national road N10. Along fields, you go up the hill into the fascinating rock landscape of Berdorf. Surrounded by pretty pine forest, you enjoy a nice view of the Sauer valley at a viewpoint, which you reach via a ladder. The highlight of the route is certainly the Mandrack Passage, a rock formation and narrow crevice named after the German TV presenter Manuel Andrack. A little further is the distinctive Kalekapp rock, then follows the Rammelee. After reaching the Fënnefter forest area, the descent towards the Sauer begins again. The final stretch runs along the Sauer with a beautiful view of Burg Bollendorf on the German side. The route is overall very varied and offers geological highlights.

During a meeting on november 22nd in 1951, the council of Berdorf voted unanimously for the construction of a church in Bollendorf-Pont. On April 19th 1954, on Easter Monday, the new church was inaugurated by coadjutor Bishop Leo Lommel and dedicated to the title of Assumption. The second patron of the church is Saint Willibrord.
