Niederkorn, CHEM 2

The path first climbs up to the heights west of Differdange. The route runs over part of the national hiking trail Sentier des Mineurs, which meanders through former ore mining areas, in this case the Giele Botter with its special biotopes. The latter itself belongs to the Prënzebierg nature reserve, which this hike also leads to. After passing through residential areas belonging to Lamadelaine, the route ends at Rodange station. © Editions Guy Binsfeld

Short route with a few not too strenuous climbs. In the first part, the path leads through residential and industrial areas. The further route of the hike follows various cycle paths, mainly the PC6 Piste cyclable des Trois Cantons, which finally passes through a pleasant forest section. This route can be combined with the CFL hiking paths 28, Oberkorn - Niederkorn (8.9 km) and 29, Niederkorn - Rodange (12 km). The route can also be cycled (mountain bike) if desired. However, caution is advised during the first kilometre (road traffic!).

The “old cooling towers” in Differdange are five cooling towers from the former Arcelor steelworks, which were colourfully painted in 2020 by street artist Alain Welter as part of the “Art in the Loop” project to save them from demolition. One of these towers, the Hadir Tower, had already been demolished in 2014. The artwork was intended to showcase the industrial heritage and culture of the location.
