1. Varied & Spectacular landscape

Steephead valleys, rocky mountains, astonishing cliffs amidst thick woodlands, lush green meadows alongside the most spectacular waterfalls and Castles.., undoubtedly Mullerthal’s varied landscape is the prime reason to go hiking (at least for me, a person who’s bored of extreme flat landscape of the Netherlands😝).

Mullerthal’s prime trail stretches over 112 km, made up of three major routes. Route 1 passes through all the typical Luxembourgian landscape elements such as rocks, forests, and meadows. Route 3 features a lot of cliffs, small valleys and some most romantic castles.

Route 2, in particular the stretch between Berdorf and Mullerthal is the most popular as it passes through many spectacular rock formations, silt marshes, old caves, and crevices to outstanding viewpoints at dizzying heights!.



2. Exceptional options for your base location

The entire Mullerthal region is surrounded by most beautiful villages, historical towns, and ancient castles – that can offer perfect accommodation – start from a student hostel, Airbnb to luxury boutique hotels.

As I have not stayed in the region, I can’t recommend any particular hotel or camping site; but there seem to be an abundance of quality accommodations and camp sites at Echternach – one of the most beautiful and the oldest town of Luxembourg ; and at Berdorf – another spectacular, much quitter village.


3. Incredible Culinary

The locals often say: 'Luxembourgian cuisine is a combination of fine French “quality” and German “quantity”😉'; and that is so true!, and there's no lack of restaurants serving good food. Every restaurant/ outlets we tried were so great in taste and in volume too.
Keep an eye open for the street-foods on the way. As mentioned their kitchen have a lot of influence from both German, French, but also some extent to the Belgians. Different Wursts (German sausages), French fries, barbecues, baguette, delicious waffles, and chocolates …. the variety is amazing!.


There are also quite a good number of Vineyards along the way, making some of the finest wines. Liqueur of the castle Beaufort is very popular, which offers delicious favours such as Cassero (liqueur made out of blackcurrents), Cassero-Kirsch (Cherry brandy), Framboise des Bois (liqueur of woodraspberries).


4. Options to hike with Children

Mullerthal trail is not only for the experts, but families with kids can also get an impression of fine hiking. Neither me, my wife nor our 8 years old kid had no good experience with hiking before, yet the trail was thoroughly enjoyable. The routes are clearly marked and some portions had guiding rails too.

We started at Schiessentümpel/ Schéissendëmpel - a small picturesque waterfall on the Black Ernz river. With a beautiful stone arc bridge and streams, Schiessentümpel as such is a lovely place to picnic for some time and for some cool pictures!.
