Rumelange, Gare routière

The hiker leaves Rumelange through a former mining area via a steadily ascending route, which at one point touches the border to France. The path leads in a large loop through an extensive forest area. Passing several sights, it then descends to the Kayl station. You can already finish this route in Tétange. Via the signposted feeder CFL 23a from Bromeschbierg, you reach the Tétange station after descending 900 meters. This shortens the total length of the route to 10.6 km. Note: Only a few trains run to and from the stations at Kayl, Tétange and Rumelange. Alternative: Bus. Please take the timetables into account when planning your route.

The Minett Trail leads trough the Minett Region on 90 kilometres. You can split the trail in ten stages on which you can discover little villages and bigger cities, but also hike through eight nature reserves. These charm visitors with their old woods and former open pit mines whose cliffy rock faces, red rocks and pit brows are unique in Luxembourg. On this alternative trail section you hike through the nature reserve "Ellergronn" close to Esch-sur-Alzette and past the National Mining Museum in Rumelange, always close to the rich industrial past of the country. This route is only part of the official route to Kayl-Tétange and thus also leads through the nature reserve "Léiffrächen" - named after the patron saint of miners and a nearby place of pilgrimage, where there are said to have been miraculous apparitions: Children who fell into a trance are said to have seen the Mother of God here.

The CineKursaal in Rumelange is the oldest cinema in Luxembourg. Built in 1908 and transformed into a cinema in 1911, the building has since undergone a complete renovation. In terms of comfort, the CineKursaal is top of the line. You’d be out of luck searching for a place with as much space to stretch your legs: 140 cm separate the rows.

The Auto-Pédestre starts at the station in Rumelange, where you can decide whether to head straight towards nature or spend a little more time in the town of Rumelange. If you initially choose the green option, you enter the Haard-Hesselsbierg-Staebierg nature reserve, the largest in Luxembourg. Here you will witness former mining waste heaps and see the red of the iron ore. The path mainly runs through the forest, but you will also be back in the hustle and bustle of the town in no time.
