The Éislek Pad Lellingen hike starts at Saint-Pierre chapel, right in the heart of the village. With its rustic farmhouses, Lellingen is a typical village of the region. The best time to hike the Éislek Pad Lellingen is undoubtedly during early spring when a yellow stream of wild daffodils flanks the 11 km-long trail forming an impressive natural spectacle!

Since this area is highly sought-after, we recommend hitting the trail on a weekday to avoid the crowds and enjoy the flowers’ beauty undisturbed. Visitors should be aware that every year the village hosts an open-air art festival to celebrate Luxembourg’s national holiday on 23 June.

Bettendorf is located beside the German-Luxembourgish border in the Sûre valley. Start your hike by walking along the dyke which runs alongside the Sûre.

After a climb, the trail follows the route of a former battle line from the Second World War, which is lined with trenches in which gunners could take refuge. The entire Sûre valley served as the southern flank of the Ardennes offensive in the winter of 1944-1945. Consequently, it was the stage of bitter fighting, of which traces remain visible today.

Spanning 13 kilometres, the Éislek Pad Bettendorf is the perfect opportunity to get a taste of the region’s history while walking through nature.

The RB 6 trail starts in Bilsdorf, a small village of 180 inhabitants not far from the Upper-Sûre Lake. The artificial lake is not only the heart of the Upper-Sûre Nature Park, but also serves to generate electricity and provide drinking water. During summer, it’s a popular recreational area. To avoid crowds, it is recommended to hit the trail during the cooler spring months.

From Bilsdorf, the RB 6 trail leads down to the lake’s shores which it then skirts until the Misärsbréck (Misery bridge). The bridge was named after an array of legendary misfortunes that are said to have befallen the region’s inhabitants.

The wetland around the bridge is a national nature reserve and bird sanctuary. It is certainly worth a visit, especially during spring. Stay awhile and you might spot some rare animals.
