Grevenmacher, Copal

MTB trail Grevenmacher Start: Potaschberg The circuit climbs back up to edge of the valley, passing through the quiet villages of Nieder- and Oberdonven. This circuit begins near the archaeological site of Potaschberg, where the foundations of a major second-century funeral monument can be seen. The Romans, who introduced vines on the slopes of the Moselle two thousand years ago, left behind a valuable heritage in this region. Explore the covered valley by going down towards Grevenmacher, the “capital” of the Luxembourg Moselle, or visit the Bernard-Massard cellars, the Butterfly Garden, the Printing Museum or the Card Games Museum.

A massive cross above the high altar is the centrepiece of the Sainte-Croix chapel, built in 1737. Three Stations of the Cross (1627, 1875 and 1956) are known to run alongside the path. In 1956, Mont Sainte-Croix and its chapel were declared Monument aux Morts (War Memorial) for the town of Grevenmacher. Since 2015, the site has been listed as a national monument.
