Getting to Reisdorf by public transport

Welcome to the historical route through the Hoesdorf plateau and part of the Westwall in Wallendorf. This route (Bettendorf – Reisdorf – Hoesdorf – Wallendorf (D)) commemorates the dramatic events that took place in this area from the end of 1944 to 1945. What is now a small, peaceful and pleasant landscape was once a hard-contested place with indescribable human suffering. The route starts in Reisdorf, from where there is an access path to the route. It is also possible to start in Bettendorf. There is also an access path to the route there. There are various possibilities to shorten the way. These are signposted on site.

The beautiful footpath first runs along the Sauer and then goes through the Heckebaach valley up the slope to Heichelerbësch. On the height you have a good view over the Sauer valley. On the way back to Reisdorf, you pass through the Ronnebësch, an idyllic forest area. On the descent back to Reisdorf, a break at the Kurtenhecken viewpoint with a beautiful view of Reisdorf is worth it.

PC 16 Reisdorf - Kautenbach Linking “Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland” with the heart of the Luxembourg Ardennes, this path runs alongside the romantic Sûre river in its green setting, then crosses the bustling cities of Diekirch and Ettelbruck. It is well worth stopping to enjoy the terraces, cafés, little museums and enticing shops. Afterwards, the landscape changes: you go back up the slopes of the Ardennes, from where you can revel in spectacular views over the steep-sided, green valley of the Sûre, dominated by the magnificent fortress of Bourscheid. Near the village of the same name, perched on a sprawling, meadow-covered plateau, a wide panorama stretching to the south of the Grand Duchy unfurls before your eyes (place known as Napoleonsbam). The route ends with a rapid descent into the Sûre valley towards Goebelsmuhle station where you can catch a train.
