Description
At 38 kilometres (out and back), the Uewersauer route is perfect for a family outing. This tour starts at Goebelsmühle station (or at the youth hostel in Lultzhausen) and runs alongside the Sûre river to the attractive town of Esch-sur-Sûre – taking in Dirbach, the two mills “Boukelsser Millen” and “Toodlermillen”, and the “Heischtergronn”. A tour of the castle, a walk around this small, historic town and a visit to the cloth factory are all must-do activities for your stop in Esch-sur-Sûre. The tour continues past the huge dam to Lultzhausen and the reservoir, where the chance to cool off is sure to do you good.
Entertainment, food and drinks at the “Teifelslee”, as well as food and refreshments at the campgrounds along the way and in the youth hostel in Lultzhausen.
