Bettingen walks

The Ferschweiler plateau on the German side, the Berdorf plateau on the Luxembourg side and between them the deep Sûre Valley. This route owes its charm to the mixture of rock formations, mazes and panoramic views.

The Devil's Gorge was formed towards the end of the last ice age, around 10,000 years ago, following one or more rock collapses. Gorges, faults and crevasses make up the rock formations of the Ferschweiler plateau.

Probably the least touristy part of the Berdorf rock formations up to Perekop, and also the wettest. Walk along paths between rocks covered with moss and ferns.

This trail is certainly the best known. Gorges du Loup, Perekop, Labyrinthe, Hohlay. We will make a small variation by doing it in a figure of 8 to balance out the discoveries.

This hike is located between Beaufort and the Sûre Valley. Forest paths give way to open countryside as far as Bigelbach and end at an old quarry and rock formations typical of the region.

From Echternach, with its basilica, abbey and pavilion, you will first follow the Sûre, the river that forms the border with Germany. You will pass imposing rock formations, alternating forests with open landscapes, meadows and beautiful views of the valley.

Here is a hike around the Vianden region. Along the way, you will find points of interest and get a semi-complete tour of the region! If you want to see or take other trails, refer to the possibilities on the basic maps!

Hike starting from the ruins of the medieval castle of Beaufort and heading into the forest with rock formations, viewpoints and streams along the way.

Trail leading through chasms, caves and crevices to viewpoints on vertiginous rocky plateaus.

A lovely hike along the Sure river offering numerous viewpoints. Around 40% of the route is through forest, making it particularly suitable in spring and autumn. I completed the hike in 5½ hours with a 50-minute break.

Discover spectacular caves and rock formations on a challenging trail to the Grotte de l'Enfer (Hell's Cave) and a gentle return along the Black Ernz.

Rammelay, Schelmelay, Goldkaul, Goldfralay and Eulenburg are the names of some of the rocks you will encounter along the way. Erosion has created bizarre shapes in the rocks, which can sometimes be compared to enormous heads.

This hike is rated as very difficult if done in a single day, but it is possible to complete it in two or three days with bivouacking. It is advisable to start near Consdorf and stop before Lauterborn to sleep; there are some beautiful spots. 

Narrow crevices, caves and impressive rock formations are on the agenda for this hike in Luxembourg's Little Switzerland.

This circular route connects the villages of Bech and Altrier. You start next to the old Bech railway station, discover the natural site of Bildchen in Altrier (a large oak tree over 1,000 years old) and finish at the 300-metre-long Bech Tunnel. The section between Altrier and Bech offers beautiful views of the valley.
