Tips from the Community
Lellingen is considered one of the best-preserved traditional villages in the region. It has been designated a model village by the National Heritage Authority, preserving its authentic character to this day. Lellingen, a charming village in the Oesling region, located about 10 kilometers east of Wiltz, is located at the intersection of three streams: the Lellgerbaach, the Pëntschbach, and the largest, the Clerve, which surrounds the chapel. The original chapel, dedicated to Saint Peter, was probably built around 1750 and consisted of an elongated building with four small windows. In the 19th century, the chapel was expanded and given its definitive form. With its unique architecture, the chapel features a narrow, elongated chancel and a higher, roof-shaped transept. In the center of the transept stands a small tower with a single bell dating from 1840, dedicated to Saint John. The interior is characterized by statues and reliquaries that reflect the rural piety of the Baroque and 19th centuries.

The Neuerburgertunnel was part of the Pronsfeld-Neuerburg railway line, also known as the Enztalbahn, a branch line in the Eifel that ran from Pronsfeld station on the Westeifelbahn to Neuerburg. The route initially led uphill from Pronsfeld before following the River Enz from Arzfeld to Neuerburg. The railway opened on July 6, 1907, along with the Pronsfeld-Waxweiler route. During World War II, the routes were severely damaged and traffic did not resume until October 17, 1949. Passenger service on the branch line was discontinued on June 1, 1969, and freight service ceased on May 18, 1989. Today, the former route is used as part of the Enztal cycle path. The Neuerburg-Zweifelscheid cycle path was opened in 2002 and the Zweifelscheid-Arzfeld section in 2005. The rest of the route was extended to Lünebach in 2007 and connected to the cycle path on the Pronsfeld-Waxweiler route. Since the autumn of 2011, the cycle path has been completely asphalted.
