Description
“Luxembourg Sandstone Rocks”
Three large landscape features are the main protagonists on this route: the Ferschweiler Plateau on the German side, the Luxembourg Berdorf Plateau, and the deeply incised Sauer valley. The composition of grand panoramas and picturesque rock formations creates the unmistakable charm of the route. The Martbusch Plateau offers many noteworthy geological features: crevices, rock hollows, caves, and rockslides.
Highlights along the way:
- Bizarre rock landscapes and spectacular rock worlds, such as Sieweschluff and rock labyrinth
- Baroque Weilerbach Castle with picturesque park
- Climbing rocks of the Wanterbach
- Picturesque Bollendorf with Sauer basin
Note: A highlight of this route is the “Mandrack” passage (Manuel Andrack). The passage between the rocks of Kalekopp is only about 40 cm wide at shoulder height. It's best to decide before starting if you dare to pass through here. There is no detour for the passage, only forward or back, and we do not want anyone to get stuck. So best take off your backpack and pass sideways!
