The Mines in Differdange

Starting from the small car park at the playground below the Col de l'Europe, the route heads towards the Kannerbongert Campus and enters the forest overlooking the main industrial area of Differdange.
The first reference to the mining past can be found at the Honsbësch mine.
The walk then enters the Prenzebierg Nature Reserve, a former mining area undergoing careful natural rehabilitation, particularly through the creation of grazing areas.
Here, traces of open-cast iron ore mining are still clearly visible.
The walk continues towards Titelberg and the oppidum dating from^{the 1st} century BC before delving back into the region's mining history at Fond-de-Gras, the historical industrial gem of the walk.

Please note: this is a very brief description of the route, given its length, and therefore does not offer the same guarantees as the walks usually published on Visorando.

A "Train 1900" runs on certain days of the year between Pétange and Fond-de-Gras.
Although a lot of (very) old railway equipment can be seen outside in Fond-de-Gras, the finest pieces, including the steam locomotives, are kept in hangars.
