Itinerary

The starting point of this circular trail is the former train station Op der Gare, at the end of the Route de Luxembourg in Consdorf.

You can see here monument of a disarmed, mounted aircraft bomb from the Second World War which was found at the edge of the village. First, the trail leads over an asphalted road to the romantic valley called Dielchen and then continues through a shadowy forest past the rock formation Dachselee, named after a badger’s hole that was found there.

Down on many stairs, you will reach the valley of Ponteschgrënnchen. You then head towards the village Scheidgen, past the Roude-Léiw rock formation, a patriotic site which commemorates the 1939 celebrations of the centenary of the Grand Duchy’s independence.

In Ponteschgronn a board commemorates Fred Welter (1921-1973), a pioneer in tourism living in the village of Scheidgen.

The next part of the trails leads over the cycle path between Echternach and Luxembourg, to the centre of Consdorf. After crossing picturesque alleys and are partially crossing the village, you get back to your starting point.
