The Luxembourg Ardennes between Troisvierges and Drauffelt
Set off to explore the north of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and, in particular, Clervaux Abbey.
Please note: this hike is not a loop and is based on the concept of walks from station to station. We chose to leave our vehicle at the free P+R car park at Drauffelt station, from where the train takes hikers to Troisvierges free of charge (1 train per hour on track 1).
From Bêche to Bêche

Around the Bernistap Canal
The Bernistap Canal is a section of the canal that the Dutch had planned to build to link the Rhine to the Meuse via the Moselle and the Ourthe. Begun in 1827 during the reign of WilliamI, King of the Netherlands, work was suspended in 1830 during the Belgian Revolution and finally abandoned when the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg gained independence. This canal has an underground section, the entrance to which on the Belgian side is still visible at km 1, if you're feeling a little adventurous. A few information panels are located along the canal between km 1 and km 2, as well as on the Luxembourg side (except for the section towards the village of Hoffelt).
