Lush Landscapes in the Mullerthal Region
Welcome to the first day of this route through Luxembourg! Are you ready to get to know one of the most beautiful natural areas of the country?
This day's proposal is to visit the Müllerthal area (which some call Little Switzerland). Throughout the area there are many hiking trails to see waterfalls, go through forests and be amazed by the rock formations.
The Müllerthal area offers three main hiking trails (known as trails 1, 2 and 3) and four secondary trails (known as ExtraTour A, B, C and D). As the trails are long, the suggestion is that you do some of them. I will give you some suggestions, but you decide the final route. A real adventure!
The proposal is to spend the morning around the village of Mullerhal to walk and see a beautiful waterfall, and the afternoon in the village of Echternach, where you will spend the night. In Echternach, you can choose to spend the afternoon at a lake and walk the trail around it. Or walk along some sections of the main routes 1 and 2 of the Mullerthal Trail.
Ready to hit the trail?
Don't forget to wear comfortable hiking shoes and clothes. And always have water, fruit and snacks with you.
