Description

This themed trail in Ettelbrück invites you to connect nature and literature in a special way. It runs for about 5 km, including through the Sauer valley, and encourages a new way of thinking about the relationship between humans and the environment. 

At 14 stations, hikers encounter texts by well-known Luxembourg authors. 18 literary excerpts show how diverse nature can be described and experienced. The focus is not only on poetic landscape images but also on critical discussions about climate change and human interaction with the environment. 

The route starts either at the Patton Monument or at the "Op der Haard" parking lot and passes several viewpoints.  

The project was developed by eight partner organizations, including the University of Luxembourg, the Centre national de littérature and the city of Ettelbrück. 

A literary nature experience that inspires reflection and also motivates movement.
