Mullerthal Trail – Section 9: Larochette–Beaufort

From castle to castle is the motto of this section of the Mullerthal Trail. The starting point is the Place Bleech in Larochette. The Mullerthal Trail crosses the square and leads behind the church up to the woods. After a short but steep climb, you enjoy a final glance for the viewpoint Salzdeebelchen on the castle. From there, the trail first passes through a light beech forest and continues to rise up to the plateau to an open landscape - past meadows, fields and farms. After a short forest followed by a tail-lined section at the end, you reach the highest point of the hike. Once there, a 360° panoramic view rewards you for the constant rise.

Thereafter the hike goes through a forest path up to Berens. Here the Mullerthal Trail develops into a narrow path that leads to Aleweier, on the banks of which a picnic area invites the hikers to rest. The path then runs along rock formations to an old washing area, the Klingelbuer. You continue on a wooden footbridge: at this point,you see the destination of your tour - Beaufort Castle.
