Nature and sights

The border region of the Eifel and Luxembourg spoils you with charming trails and diverse landscapes in Luxembourg's Mullerthal, the Eislek - Luxembourg Ardennes and the Southern Eifel.
The hiking trails in the NaturWanderPark deLux lead through four nature parks, dense forests, but also across wide pastures and meadows or even along hop fields, through deep valleys, mysterious gorges or past bizarre rock formations.

Castles, museums and other sights in the Eifel and in Luxembourg along the way invite you to take entertaining detours or excursions.
