Mullerthal Trail ExtraTour A

From Larochette, you cross the forest towards Meysembourg Castle. The path then leads through beautiful countryside of meadows and fields towards the rock formations at Nommerlayen, which are very well known in the region. From the village of Nommern, you pass through the Seitert Forest to Medernach, before returning to Larochette via a section of the Mullerthal Route 3.

Really lovely Rondo 👌 We’d just need to tweak the route so we don’t have to go over the tarmac – I reckon it could be done. Even so, it’s brilliant 👍

A lovely circular walk offering quite varied scenery of woodland and fields. The section through the Nommerlayen rocks is indeed very picturesque, although rather short. There’s quite a bit of tarmac, as mentioned in the walk description, but with virtually no motorised traffic. A lovely view of Larochette on arrival.
