The Minett Trail is a 90-kilometer-long hiking path running across the Minett region. In ten stages, you can experience smaller and larger towns as well as eight nature reserves. These impress with old forests and former mining areas. Due to the steep rock walls, red earth, and mine entrances, they are unique in Luxembourg. On this section, you hike through the nature reserve "Kiemerchen-Scheiergronn-Groussebësch," which borders the "Gaalgebierg" of Belvaux. Along the way, you will again see red rock formations and traces of ore mining. Part of the path leads over an old tire test track, which today looks like an abandoned highway segment. Here, nature is steadfastly reclaiming its place. Thus, the path runs almost exclusively through an extensive forest area. On the Gaalgebierg is a large playground where you will also find inviting picnic spots.

On a hiking route of just under one kilometer in length, children and their families get their full money’s worth: along the path starting from the "Vëloschoul" in Differdange, six stations with unusual wooden sculptures tell the stories of their fairy tale characters. From the wicked witch to the carved puppet Pinocchio, Snow White or Cinderella, all fairy tale characters have their own sculpture. The "Klenge roude Leiw" by the author Mireille Weiten-de Waha is also part of the figures. It is not only about finding the stations but more about playing: the stations include challenges for the little ones, such as climbing a wall using Rapunzel’s braid. The path also hides wooden carved forest animals that can be spotted using the telescope installed along the path. Still: don’t forget binoculars!
