The Mullerthal Trail with its 112 km is composed by 3 big Routes: Route 1, Route 2, Route 3 and by ExtraTours. The Mullerthal Trail is accessible all year round. During the autumn and winter months, some parts can be very slippery due to the foliage or icing. We therefore recommend to wear hiking boots.
Caution in the forest – increased risks during hot and dry weather
Prolonged periods of heat and drought increasingly weaken our forests. In addition to the increased risk of forest fires, there is also a higher risk of falling branches or trees breaking. Even trees that appear healthy may have damage that is not visible from the outside.
Please follow these recommendations:
In the event of an accident, please call the emergency services on 112.
To plan your trip well in advance, you can have a look at the different picnic, barbecue and playground areas in the Mullerthal Region – Luxembourg's Little Switzerland. Please note that you'll need a permit from the municipality to use some of the BBQ places.
Can I light a fire or barbecue anywhere in the Mullerthal Region?
No. Open fires are not permitted in nature. Barbecues are only allowed in designated barbecue areas and should always be used responsibly. During periods of increased wildfire risk, additional restrictions may apply.
Please follow the instructions of the authorities and call 112 immediately in case of fire.
