Auto-Pédestre Bourscheid route

Starting from the village center, the Auto-Pédestre Bourscheid crosses the CR 348 and then leads into the dense forest north of the village. The path descends all the way to the Féischterhaff. This somewhat remote farm is located in a meander of the Sauer.

The path now runs southwards, gently uphill to the 10th-century Bourscheid Castle. This triangular castle towers about 150 meters above the Sauer and is accessible only from one side, which deters enemies. Over time, the property developed from a small wooden fort into the impressive feudal castle we know today. Since 1972, it has been state-owned and has undergone constant renovation work.

The hike continues eastward. You quickly reach the viewpoint at the Schleedbësch, which offers a wonderful panorama of the castle.

After climbing a few hundred meters uphill, the end of the hike comes into sight.
