Getting to Vichten by public transport

The municipality of Vichten gained a certain notoriety through the discovery of a Roman mosaic in 1995 depicting Homer within a circle of the nine muses. The mosaic, which was created around 240 A.D., shows the muses in the order determined by Hesiod around 700 BC. The mosaic was created in a workshop in Trier and covered the floor of the reception hall of a Gallo-Roman villa. A copy of the mosaic can be found between the church and the community centre.

After passing through Vichten, this trail heads straight towards Michelbouch across fields and woods before returning towards its starting point along the Buttebaach, passing through the forests of Geichbësch and Scheierbësch.

Around the town hall of Vichten, next to the internationally known Roman mosaic of the nine muses, Gallo-Roman life can be experienced through active stations! Young and old can experience the history of the Romans with all their senses. The stations provide interactive information on topics such as social structure, nutrition, dye plants and Roman games. The Roman Trail also provides additional information about the Muses Mosaic and the special features of the Romanesque bell tower of the Church of Vichten.
