The Minett Trail is a 90-kilometer-long hiking trail running across the Minett region. In ten stages, you can experience smaller and larger towns as well as eight nature reserves. These impress with old forests and former open-cast mining areas. Due to the steep rock walls, the red earth, and mine entrances, they are unique in Luxembourg. On this section, you hike between the towns of Esch-sur-Alzette and Schifflange through the nature reserve "Lalléngerbierg - Brucherbierg" and thus through an important piece of history that has strongly shaped the region and both towns. This stage is particularly contrasting; on the one hand, you pass through barren lunar landscapes with distinct red soil. Then the path leads through lush, green forests, and with some luck, you will find the source of the "Marxeweiher" near Schifflange. The path is also very scenic, offering deep insights into the ever-changing region. Only a short detour off the path towards the "Kabaischens" offers, for example, a view over the new Belval district.
