Bonnevoie, Vannérus

In 1859 the first railway station of the city started to operate; for military reasons timber was the basic construction material. Between 1907 and 1913 the German architects Rüdell, Jüsgen and Scheuffel planned and organized the gradual replacing of the half-timbering by modern building techniques. The monumental main building and the high clock tower are in “Moselle Baroque”. In the entrance hall a mosaic window discloses the outline of the city; the ceiling was repainted by the Luxembourg artist Armand Strainchamps.

The Bonnevoie swimming pool includes a large swimming pool with adjustable depth (between 1.80m and 3.80m), a small pool with adjustable depth (between 0.65m and 1.25m), an unsupervised weight room, a bath sweating, solarium and cafeteria.

The hiking route repeatedly descends into the Alzette Valley, only to climb back up shortly afterward. Despite the proximity to the city center, the path is very natural and passes various old mills, some of which are now used for other purposes, including as artists' studios, as evidenced by the numerous art elements along the route.
