Description
Discover Luxembourg's Little Switzerland during the Mëllerdall Tour on 2 and 3 August.
The tour through the Müllerthal region takes you along cycling path PC2, following a former railway line through a tunnel near Bech, where a refreshment stand invites you to take a break. From there, the route continues through a scenic canyon to the charming old town of Echternach.
After a short detour through the historic town center, you cycle along the Sûre River on the German border and reach the Heringer Millen, a perfect spot for another rest, before continuing past the famous Schiessentümpel waterfall.
If you want to discover the Mullerthal region at your leisure with less physical effort, then choose the shorter Mëllerdall initiation tour instead.
