Sûre ou Sauer (rivière) walks
From Echternach to Berdorf and back
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.
Lake Haute-Sûre and Pont Misère
Circular hike around Lake Haute-Sûre and Pont Misère. Between trails and viewpoints, a concentration of the best paths and trails with a more substantial distance.
Circular route on both sides of the Sûre
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.
From Dirbach to Bourscheid Castle
Circular route in the Our Nature Park, taking part of the Escapardenne Lee Trail. Route can be done in all seasons.
The Upper Sûre Lake, starting from Arsdorf
The route starts near Arsdorf and takes you to the Lac de la Haute Sûre, following the course of a river through beautiful countryside; the return journey follows a branch of the lake and then another river. To return to the starting point, the route passes through the small village of Kuborn and then Neunhausen.
Misère Bridge – Esch-sur-Sûre
Starting from the Pont Misère, head towards the side of the lake least exposed to the sun – you’ll be able to tell by the vegetation you encounter. Pass by the Burfelt viewpoint, Inserborn beach, the Lultzhausen sculpture trail and finish at the ruins of Esch-sur-Sûre Castle.
Route 1/Stage 2: Echternach - Moersdorf
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.
The tour of Lake Haute-Sûre
This trail takes you on a tour of Lake Haute-Sûre. Set in the heart of the Haute-Sûre Nature Park, this lakeside walk offers magnificent views in all seasons. Along the 41 km route, you’ll discover the Lultzhausen sculpture trail, the Burfelt viewpoint, the ruins of Esch-sur-Sûre Castle, the Baschleiden-Tempelskamp observation tower and the Kaundorf 1940–45 bunker.
Loop from Warnach
A walk starting from Warnack and passing through Strainchamps, Hotte, Bodange, Wisemback and Radelange. Part of the route is in Luxembourg. The walk is mainly on forest paths with little tarmac.
A trip to the Ardennes in Laneuville
This Ardennes circular route offers beautiful scenery across the rolling countryside around Laneuville and Remience and passes through open forests with a variety of tree species typical of the region.Magnificent in spring, the colours of nature are just as splendid in autumn... and what can one say when nature is covered in a pristine blanket of snow in winter.A few ponds and beaver dams add a pleasant touch to the route.Completely off the beaten track, the likelihood of meeting anyone is very low: we only came across one person loading logs onto his lorry and a farmer repairing the fences around his pastures.Consequently, there are very few benches and not a single picnic table along the entire route. There are no shops either: don’t set off without bringing at least some food and drink.
Tour de Wallonie
This walking tour of Wallonia, which includes the German-speaking part of Belgium, is a circular route that generally follows the borders as closely as possible, whether linguistic or territorial. This sometimes involves forays into neighbouring territories – France, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Flemish Region. Occasionally, the route also deviates from this due to accommodation requirements or because suitable accommodation could not be found close to the borders, whilst still adhering to various constraints.
Habay-la-Neuve – Tintange
After reaching the Château du Pont d’Oye, the walk begins with a pleasant route through the woodland, skirting the ponds before moving away from them to join a secondary gravel road. This takes us over hill and dale through the forest up to the heights of Martelange, a border town between Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Lake Sûre Trail Marathon
A demanding 40 km marathon trail around Lake Sûre (1350 m elevation gain/loss) in the heart of Luxembourg's wild landscapes. A technical and varied circular loop, highly recommended for trail shoes. Start and finish in Esch-sur-Sûre to enjoy a good meal or a well-deserved drink at the end of the course.
Option to complete the route in two days: see details in "Description".
The Sûre valley between Michelau and Erpeldange
Starting from Michelau station (free parking, free access by train or bus from anywhere in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg), the walk heads south, crosses the Sûre (a river similar to the Ourthe and Semois in Belgium) and climbs up the right bank, following its course along a forest path, a small country road and a slightly steep trail.
From Goebelsmühle station to Michelau station via Bourscheid Castle
This walk takes us up above the meanders of the Sûre into the heart of the Éislek, following part of the Escapardenne Lee Trail, a hiking trail linking Ettelbruck to Kautenbach. Once we’ve reached Luxembourg’s largest fortified castle, we can walk around the next bend and head uphill to reach a remarkable viewpoint before descending towards Michelau station. If you’re short on time or energy, you can reach the station more directly by taking the Haute Sûre path down from the castle.
It was designed to be accessible by train (free in Luxembourg since March 2020).
Bettendorf, the Sure and its forest
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.
