Pond Below Meysembourg Castle

Highlight • Lake

Pretty big pond. Looks like a bit of water level is missing. A heron could be observed up close. Fish often jumped out of the water....

May 3, 2025,Local Trail L2 Larochette and Meysembourg Castles

Two magnificent castles linked by a winding, tranquil circular forest trail less than 10km long? Welcome to the Mullerthal!!

September 11, 2024,L🇱🇺 - Mullerthal// Runde um Larochette

Stopover in Mullerthal on the way back to AC. We quickly decided on Larochette as the starting point for the flying visit and set off on the L2 from the tourist office... hmmm, the path was rather unspectacular... but it was quiet and surrounded by lush green forest. A few interesting rock formations reminded me of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. …

April 27, 2023,Nach Schloss Meysembourg – Runde von Larochette

The small town of Larochette can rightly call itself a Portuguese exclave, as the majority of its inhabitants are Portuguese.
However, Larochette is really dominated by the gigantic Ganerbenburg FELS (FIELS), which towers above the city and towers over everything; one of their houses was extensively renovated in the 1980s/90s and now houses an interactive exhibition that vividly conveys life …

April 10, 2025,🇱🇺 Larochette (L2) mit Burgruine

From the Müllerthal tour flyer, we had chosen the L2 hiking trail from Larochette for today. However, the trail led exclusively along forestry roads. The highlights are quickly listed: Meysemburg Castle (privately owned) and the Larochette Castle ruins. All in all, we were rather disappointed today. We don't recommend this hiking trail, especially since the castle ruins aren't officially part …

The hike starts in the small medieval village of Larochette. A little way out of the village you follow a beautiful, easy-to-walk path along a stream.

After around 3 km you reach a small pond and can catch a picturesque view of Meysembourg Castle. Unfortunately, as of February 2024, you will not be able to access the castle as it …

Mediocre hiking tour, mostly on good roads. Forest paths. Little eye food. The castle was still closed due to winter break.

March 20, 2023,Rundtour L2 Larochette - Schloss Meysembourg 20.03.2023

Larochette, "The Rock", a small Luxembourg town in the valley of the white Ernz, surrounded by steep cliffs. We hike the first part along the white Ernz. At the picnic area we turn right onto the Manzenbach. It goes into the forest, the idyllic stream accompanies us to Meysembourg Castle. Pancake, the water rat, jumps into a pond, follows the …
