Hiking
The Bollendorf Plateau on the German side, the Luxembourgish Beaufort Plateau, and the deeply incised Sûre Valley as a connecting element make this route an unforgettable experience. At every turn, the rocky paths in the Luxembourgish sandstone reveal themselves as a true El Dorado for rock hikers.
The rocky backdrops offer countless scenery and color variations. On the Luxembourg side, this landscape is called "Luxembourg's Little Switzerland." Rare tufa caves, such as the Tränenlay, magnificent views and gorge-like ravines, mystical rocky paths and root trails, impressive rock towers, and boundless river panoramas compose a fascinating landscape. The historic town center of Beaufort with Beaufort Castle is a must for anyone interested in culture. But Bollendorf, with the Sauerstaden, Bollendorf Castle, Weilerbach Castle, and the Roman Villa, also has much to offer.

Great round!
German-Luxembourg border hike!
Nothing for the inexperienced!
The countless steps make the way difficult!
Nevertheless, like all premium hiking trails in the southern Eifel and Luxembourgish Switzerland, not only interesting from a geological point of view and definitely worth hiking!

Start this morning at 8.20 a.m. I knew it would be a strenuous tour.
Start: South Eifel youth hostel Bollendorf. First of all, it was quite a steep descent (oh dear, I have to go back up again 🙈, so it's a leisurely hike 😊).
