Heffingen, Al Gemeng

This route leads through wide fields with beautiful views over Heffingen. From the starting point at the school, it soon turns right across the fields to Huechemd, a small woodland to the right of the route, where benches with beautiful views invite you to rest. Further on, the route passes through dense forest on the slope of the Schwarze Ernz valley. Passing through the small village of Reuland, the route leads back towards Heffingen and passes the Geotop Héikräiz of the UNESCO Global Geopark Mullerthal, a stone cross, and a small chapel with a beautiful view.

The “Loschburmann” was discovered in the 1930s in the Loschbur rock shelter near Heffingen, in the valley of the Black Ernz. The almost complete skeleton dates to the Mesolithic period (around 8 000 BC) and is one of Luxembourg’s most important archaeological finds. The “Loschburmann” was a hunter-gatherer living in what is now the Mullerthal Region. His remains offer valuable insights into the lives of early inhabitants of the area. A lifelike reconstruction of the “Loschburmann” can be seen at the National Museum of Natural History in Luxembourg City.
