The hiking route begins at the free parking lot at the Boulodrome. Here you can decide whether to start your route immediately into the green of the Haard-Hesselsbierg-Staebierg nature reserve or first explore the workers' district "Quartier Italien". The 7-kilometer circular route offers a lot of variety: from green forest, over open landscapes shaped by the open-cast mine, fields with poppies (between May and June) to red earth and rock walls. The highlight of the route is the Humpen, a former train wagon in the middle of nowhere in which slag was transported.

Dany and Chris from Dudelange have renovated their restaurant Ruccolino with their own hands. It’s with the same passion that the team is hosting their guests, creating a very cozy atmosphere and offering a great variety of freshly cooked, vegan, italian dishes as Focaccia, Pasta and many more. As they put it, guests will only find dishes that they would also prepare for their loved ones.

The museum houses a collection of precious historical objects which come from archaeological excavations carried out on Mont St-Jean, near the restored remains of the old castle (pottery, coins, firearms, military brooches, stones, etc.). The museum is open Monday to Saturday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Free admission upon registration via tourisme@dudelange.lu Guided tours on request: T.: +352 51 17 49.
