Getting to Reckange (Mersch) by public transport

A chapel has been standing on this site since the early Christian age. The Eenelt chapel was first mentioned in a document in 1180. Market rights were already in force at that time, making it one of the oldest markets in Luxembourg. A new chapel was consecrated in 1751. It fell into disrepair during the French Revolution. The current chapel was built in 1897 in honour of Saints Donatus and Theobald on a hill near the Menhir overlooking Mersch. It has undergone extensive restoration work in 1996.

It was erected to commemorate Luxembourg's independence, which was guaranteed by the Treaty of London in 1839. The monument consists of a stone column surmounted by a statue representing Liberty. It is surrounded by a small park and is an important symbol of Luxembourg's history and culture. Many visitors come every year to admire the monument and learn more about the country's history.

During the guided tour, the various animals living at the farm (rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, goats, sheep, pigs, donkeys and ponies) are visited. The highlight of the tour is of course the pony riding. Up to 5 children can participate in the 1-hour visit, which has to be booked in advance.

The highlight of this route is surely the “Mamerleeën”, which consist of natural sandstone caves as well as a network of artificial tunnels. The system of these caves extends over a thousand meters. Particularly impressive is the “Huellee” (cave) with a view of the imposing keep of Schoenfels Castle, which originated from a fortress built in 1292 by Friedrich “Ferry” von Schoenfels. But besides its numerous rock and cave formations, the Guttland.Trail Mamerleeën offers many other highlights that invite you to relax: Near the “Huellee” there is an impressive picnic table with a view of Schoenfels Castle. If you continue hiking, you reach the recreational spot “Hunnebur”, a place where numerous benches around the fairy-tale pond invite you to relax in the middle of nature. Towards the end, the trail goes through the small untouched gorge “Wollefsgriecht”.
