Hoesdorf is a small rural village in the municipality of Reisdorf, situated on a plateau near the Our valley.
Hoesdorf lies in the east of the Mullerthal Region on a plateau near the Our valley and the German-Luxembourg border. Fields, meadows and wooded slopes characterise the peaceful surroundings of the small village.
The Hoesdorf plateau played an important role during the Second World War. In autumn 1944, American observation and listening posts were located here, overlooking the fortifications of the Westwall on the opposite side. During the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, the area became the scene of heavy fighting.
Today, the cross-border Remembrance Trail leads across the Hoesdorf plateau. Along 17 information panels, the historic circular trail tells the story of the events that took place in this area in 1944 and 1945.
