Explore alternative electricity production in Luxembourg with an e-bike or touring bike: The circular bike route passes the interactive Tudor Museum for electricity and accumulators and connects all the picturesque villages of the Rosport-Mompach community with the town of Echternach, which was the first town in Luxembourg to be equipped with electric lighting. The route goes through the green Sauer valley and past the dam and power plant in Rosport, then up to the plateau with beautiful views and the distinctive wind turbines on the Burer Bierg and Pafenbierg heights.
The Tudor route is signposted in both directions throughout and partly runs on the national cycling routes PC2 Echternach and PC3 Des Trois Rivières.
Points of interest: Tudor Museum in Rosport, hermit's chapel "Girsterklaus", "Kulturhaff Millermoler" (tea and other regional products) in Hinkel, Echternach (lake, gastronomy, culture).
Directions
We cycle down the hill from the Tudor Museum in Rosport to the Sauer and turn right onto the national cycle route (PC) 3, following it to the village of Hinkel. From there, the route goes uphill to Girst and then to the idyllic Girsterklaus chapel. Via Dickweiler and Boursdorf, it goes back down into the Sauer valley, where we turn right again onto the PC3 towards Moersdorf in Born. In Moersdorf, the route climbs the slope again and runs over the plateau through the villages of Mompach, Herborn and Osweiler and then down to Lake Echternach. Alongside the lake and past the youth hostel, it then joins the national cycle route (PC) 2, which leads through the medieval town of Echternach. In Echternach, the route runs along the Sauer river again turning right onto the PC3 up to Steinheim. In Steinheim, it climbs the hill for the last time and follows the upper Sauer valley until the path reaches the Tudor Museum in Rosport again.
