Wasserbillig, Marais

The centrepiece of this hike in the border region between Luxemburg and Germany is the exciting history of the village of Wasserbillig at the delta of the Sauer and Mosel rivers. From the starting point at the community hall you will follow the continuous markings through 17 stations in the lives of our forefathers. Glass informational display cases will teach you interesting facts about the culture, history and natural environment in and around Wasserbillig. A small loop (3,3 km) leads to the culturally and historically significant places in the village, a larger loop (9,9 km) leads out into the open landscapre with majestic views over the valleys of the Mosel and the Sauer.

You can reach a suitable starting point of this educational trail via two short but very steep access trails from either of the two villages Mertert and Wasserbillig. The Wine-Information-Trail offers you a great opportunity to enjoy the fresh air while learning a lot about viniculture, the culture and history of the region. The Mosel painter J.P. Becklus is given an especially impressive presentation. At Beckius Square you can experience the art of the Mertert-born painter Jean-Pierre Beckius (1899-1964). From Wine Square you have an incomparable view of the valley. Take a moment to rest at the Roman Pavillon and find out how wine came to the Mosel valley and how wine was made in Roman times. Just find your way using the informational signs.
