Description

This section of the Mullerthal Trail leads from Herborn to Echternach. It is one of 13 sections into which the entire Mullerthal Trail can be divided.

The starting point of this section is the square in front of the church in Herborn. Herborn is a very cozy village thanks to the well-preserved historical buildings and the imposing church.

The Mullerthal Trail first leads out of the village and after a short time into the natural forest reserve of Hierberbësch, which, with his beech occurrence, is one of the typical representatives of central European forest communities. In the nature forest reserve, yous hould sit down on the bench to listen to the soothing sounds of the forest.

The Mullerthal Trail then leaves the forest again, providing the hiker with a great view over open fields. From there, “the red M” takes the hiker on the way towards Haard forest.

The next highlight is the lake of Echternach. After leaving this leisure zone, the path runs through an alley past St. Mary’s Chapel to the center of Echternach.
