The Three Rivers Cycle Route follows the course of the Moselle between Schengen and Wasserbillig, the Sauer between Wasserbillig and Reisdorf, and finally the Our between Reisdorf and Vianden. A unique and varied part of Luxembourg! Remarkable sights along the route: the European Museum in Schengen, the place that gave its name to the agreement signed in 1985; the abbey town of Echternach with its impressive basilica, picturesque marketplace, and Baroque Benedictine Abbey; medieval Vianden, dominated by one of the largest and most beautiful castles from the Romanesque and Gothic periods in Europe. In Hinkel, Kulturhaff Millermoler invites you to pop in and browse through its range of regional products. It’s the perfect way to combine your bike ride with a delightful stop-off.

Discover the "Greater Region" on the cross-border "VeloRoute SaarLorLux". The approximately 482 km long route mainly runs through the valleys of the Saar, Moselle, and Sauer and leads to the cultural and natural attractions of the region along the three borders. In Luxembourg, the "VeloRoute SaarLorLux" leads from Schengen to Luxembourg City, passing Dalheim and following old railway tracks to Echternach. From there, the route follows the Sauer to the Moselle in Wasserbillig and continues to Trier in Germany.

Harsh war years, countless border shifts, power struggles, negotiations, and agreements have shaped the border area and its people over centuries. Upon closer inspection, the natural landscape still reveals the scars of this time with trenches, overgrown tank barriers, bomb craters, and hidden bunkers. Thanks to the Schengen Agreement, the region has now grown into a borderless, shared living and cultural space. The M³-Trail offers the opportunity to get to know this shared living and cultural space, its people, and its history. Especially exciting stops include the European Museum in Schengen, the Château des Ducs de Lorraine in Sierck les Bains, and the German-French Peace Chapel near Perl.

Visit the brand-new Schengen Museum, dedicated to the history and significance of the Schengen Agreement – a milestone in European integration. Signed on June 14, 1985, the Schengen Agreement is renowned worldwide as a true symbol of freedom of movement and the abolition of internal borders across most countries of the European Union and beyond. It is located in the heart of the "magic triangle" in the small wine-growing village of Schengen, where Luxembourg, France and Germany meet. Discover the impressive new exhibition right by the Moselle River and experience the signing of the agreement aboard the original ship "Prinzessin Marie-Astrid Europa." The museum is ideal for individual visitors and does not require a guide. Guided tours for groups are available by prior arrangement and take place mainly outdoors. Alongside many anecdotes and surprising details, experienced tour guides explain the history of the Schengen Agreement and its impact on our lives today.
