Getting to Kaundorf by public transport

In general, these bunkers were buried in young spruce forests and built from tree trunks. The tin roof was sealed with bituminous cardboard, before being covered with a layer of earth and dead leaves for perfect camouflage. The building materials had to be painstakingly transported at night in wheelbarrows and carts and deposited in secret locations. This bunker in Kaundorf was occupied by four resistance fighters at Whitsun 1944. Its existence remained a secret until the liberation. It was restored in 1987 as a national monument and can only be reached on foot via a signposted hiking trail from the southern outskirts of the village. In the immediate vicinity of the bunker, hikers can enjoy a magnificent view on the Upper Sûre Lake.

The Auto-Pédestre starts at the village exit. From here, you go through the forest to the Runtschelt viewpoint, where you can enjoy the panoramic view of the Obersauer reservoir. Next, continue to the former underground bunker of the resistance fighters from World War II. This bunker was mainly used by draft resisters who wanted to avoid conscription into the German Wehrmacht. It was restored in 1987 and has been under monument protection since then. After a short detour to the east, the hiking trail turns back and leads you, after a few kilometers and a steep descent, to the Përmesknupp. This pilgrimage site, which is visited annually by a procession, consists of a small 18th-century chapel with a spring. Here you can also discover the ruins of a former manor with a hermitage. Now it goes continually uphill back to Kaundorf. After two kilometers through the forest, you walk through the village to reach your starting point.

The local hiking routes are marked with the abbreviations of the municipality in which they start. The larger the number included in the marking, the longer the circular route. Convince yourself of the variety of local hiking routes and the different features in the Éislek.

Runtschelt viewpoint south of Kaundorf offers a breathtaking view of the Upper Sûre Lake. A hike there is particularly worthwhile at sunrise and sunset, when the sky is bathed in beautiful colours. A bench at the viewpoint invites you to linger - a popular photo subject that is also often seen on social media. The viewpoint can only be reached on foot via the LH 1, LH 2 and LH 7 hiking trails, as well as via the Kaundorf Autopédestre and the eastern section of the Circuit du Lac.
