Dudelange, Schlakemillen

The mountain bike trail "Haard-red" takes you through former open-pit mining areas, which were officially declared a national nature reserve in 1994. Iron ore was once mined here, but after the cessation of mining, the area was simply left to the natural process of vegetation development. Leave the city and ride into the countryside in just 5 minutes! This track is just right for you if you want to gain experience riding singletrails. The route is not technically very demanding and is very varied. Along the way, numerous viewpoints offer the opportunity to take spectacular photos.

Along the path, 17 display panels explain the former open-pit mining area as well as the current nature reserve. Discover the extensive high plains of the former open-pit mine, walk along a path winding through forest between slipped ground, admire tall rock walls, and surely see red soil!
