(S/E) With your back to the bus station building, take the small street opposite Rue Charly. When you reach the main road, cross with caution.
(1) Continue along the grassy path opposite, running alongside the corner house. Take the first path on your right. Go up, past the chapel. At the road, continue to your right to rejoin the path a few metres higher up. At the top, you will see Echternach. Continue along the path, ignoring the one behind the shelter and the next one. Keep straight ahead until you reach the fork. Turn left and climb the stairs. This is where the Wolf Gorge begins. At the top, there are three viewpoints.
(2) To the right, there is a viewpoint over the valley with a passage between two rocks and a concrete footbridge. Back at the bottom, start climbing the steps opposite for the other two viewpoints. First, head towards the furthest viewpoint with the picnic table. View of the valley and directional sign. Retrace your steps, cross the footbridge on your right and head towards the other viewpoint where you can see the first viewpoint and its concrete footbridge below. Descend into the gorge and follow the path on the left. Go down a series of steps until you reach a path and continue straight ahead. Pass a small clearing and continue along the main path. When you reach the road, head towards the shelter.
(3) Cross the bridge, pass the shelter and continue along the path, climbing the steps. Continue along the path overlooking the road and cross the Labyrinth. Further on, cross the bridge, leave the path on your right and head towards the steps opposite, which you climb.
