The Mamer-Keispelt-Kopstal tour is a challenge: not because of its distance, but its climb. Starting in Mamer, discover a route full of contrasts: from Kehlen, via Olm, down into Kopstal. The route also takes you to Nospelt, a little village  known beyond the country’s borders as the former centre of Luxembourg’s pottery industryand site of the traditional annual “Emaischen” festival. Via Keispelt we descend into the shady Direndall (attention: bad surface and very steep descent) and via Kopstal back to Mamer.

Highlights along the way:

• Make a detour in Kehlen and visit the distillery museum to sample a delicious “Drëpp” (dram).
• Visit the pottery museum in Nospelt, which will be happy to open its doors to you upon request. Here you will find the “Péckvillercher” statues.
• Stop for a picnic en route to the “Direndall” – unwind next to the river at Thillsmillen.
