Vianden, Gare

Building a Scenic Route To connect Vianden, engineers faced the challenge of laying track within the winding Our Valley. They opted for a narrow-gauge design, allowing for tighter curves and making construction more feasible. Though its origin is debated, this line became affectionately known as the "Benny Express." The Heartbeat of the Valley The "Benny" served as a lifeline for both locals and visitors. Tourists enjoyed the scenic journey, while residents relied on the train for their daily commute and to transport goods like timber and agricultural products. On a typical day, you might see families heading for a day trip, farmers with their produce, or perhaps hikers disembarking to explore the beautiful countryside. Decline and Transformation Changing times brought challenges. Rising costs and the increasing popularity of buses led to the "Benny Express" being discontinued in 1948. While this marked the end of the line, its legacy lives on. Rediscovering the Rails Today, a portion of the old railway has been transformed into a cycle path, allowing visitors to follow the line's route through the picturesque Our Valley. The preserved Bettel station also stands as a reminder of Vianden's railway past. Though the "Benny Express" no longer runs, it holds an important place in both the region's history and the hearts of those who remember its rhythmic chugging along the valley.

The 16 carefully marked routes with a total length of over 350 km lead through dense forests and deep valleys, past impressive castles and other sights. Some routes meet the demands of particularly sporty riders, while others are ideal for family outings.

This viewpoint is not accessible by car and can only be reached on foot. It is located on hiking trails VI 2, VI 3 and Nat'Our Route 6, among others. The viewpoint owes its name to Luxembourg's national flag, which is displayed on a pole.

Restaurant Fuku is located in the center of Vianden and is within easy walking distance from the bus station. This recently opened restaurant offers a modern atmosphere and serves a variety of Asian dishes along with fresh sushi. It is a popular choice for lovers of Asian cuisine and adds a contemporary touch to the local dining scene.
