Noerdange, Bei der Post

For more than 70 years, the railway line called "Prince Henri" or "Attert" served the Noerdange station by connecting Pétange to Ettelbruck. It facilitated the transportation of people and goods to the mining regions. The last train of this line circulated in 1969. Purchased in 1978 by the municipality of Beckerich, this former station was subject to an eco-renovation with the ClimEEC professional network that used new and traditional construction and insulation techniques such as the use of clay for example. Today, the renovated building houses on the first floor a low-energy housing and on the ground floor, the first museum of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg dedicated to the regional rail networks. The showcase is open every day from 8am-8pm. The museum is open on request with a guided tour.

Starting from Route 12 (Attert), this route passes through a less known but still interesting region of the Grand Duchy. After leisurely climbing the Ardennes foothills, you can make a small detour from Koetscheid to the Obersauer Nature Park with its lake. There you will find numerous recreational activities: swimming, water sports, solar boat trips, hikes on the circular trail around the lake, which lies like a green jewel box with magnificent views of the sparkling water surface. The nature park is also highly appreciated for its regional products (for example, teas, spelt beer, or the famous Ardennes raw ham). Another recommended detour takes you from Koetscheid 5 km along the eastern country road, where you will find a wonderful viewpoint (Napoleonsgaart). Very nearby, you can admire remarkable frescoes from the 15th and 16th centuries in the church in the tiny village of Rindschleiden.
