Description
From 15-17 August, we are once again celebrating VëloViaNorden! The route takes you from Troisvierges, past the “Wämper Séi” (Weiswampach Lake) and over Clervaux to Wilwerwiltz, Kautenbach, Wiltz, Niederwampach, Hoffelt and back to Troisvierges.
This sporty route starts at the Troisvierges train station and starts by following the famous Vennbahn bike route to Huldange. From there, you’ll head to Weiswampach, where you’ll have the opportunity to pause by the lake, have a drink and grab a bite, or cool down in the water. Continue on to Clervaux, where you will find a variety of cultural highlights: a visit to the UNESCO exhibition “Family of Man” in the castle or the abbey of St Maurice are some of the special highlights. From Clervaux, you then pass through the valley to Wilwerwiltz.
You continue your tour from Wilwerwiltz to Troisvierges via Wiltz, Winseler and Wincrange.
If you prefer a less demanding, but still sporty version, you should take a look at the Tour G1.
