Oberkorn, Aquasud

The route runs entirely along the national hiking trail Sentier du Sud and begins with a view of the former open-pit mining area Ronnebierg near the border with France. After the Vesquenhaff farmstead, the path leads over the wooded heights west of Differdange to the railway station of Niederkorn.

The moment you walk through the entrance to the outdoor swimming pool you feel like you’re on holiday. Not only are there pools, there’s a giant lawn where you can lounge all day long. Bring your big beach towel, a couple of good books, a hat and sunglasses and enjoy the summer atmosphere for a few hours or all day and into the evening. Temporarily closed for renovation and expansion work. The indoor swimming pool is open throughout the year.

Aquasud is not your ordinary swimming pool. This aquatic centre offers tons of possibilities to exercise, relax and recharge over a total area of 10,000 m². Sports enthusiasts can enjoy the fitness area with numerous facilities spread across three sports halls (for ages 18 and up) as well as the six indoor pools (including one that is 25m long!) and the two outdoor pools. For those who would rather play, Aquasud has a play pool, a wading pool and an outdoor pool just for fun. Finally, for those seeking relaxation and well-being, there is an extensive wellness area (for ages 18 and up) with five saunas (including two outdoors), two relaxation rooms, a steam bath, a cold bath and a jacuzzi. And if that’s not enough, there are four treatment rooms (including one for two people). So, who’s ready to take a dip?

On a hiking route of just under one kilometer in length, children and their families get their full money’s worth: along the path starting from the "Vëloschoul" in Differdange, six stations with unusual wooden sculptures tell the stories of their fairy tale characters. From the wicked witch to the carved puppet Pinocchio, Snow White or Cinderella, all fairy tale characters have their own sculpture. The "Klenge roude Leiw" by the author Mireille Weiten-de Waha is also part of the figures. It is not only about finding the stations but more about playing: the stations include challenges for the little ones, such as climbing a wall using Rapunzel’s braid. The path also hides wooden carved forest animals that can be spotted using the telescope installed along the path. Still: don’t forget binoculars!
