Mullerthal Trail Route 1 & 2

From Echternach, you immediately step into the fairytale-like nature of Luxembourg’s Müllerthal. While the previous stage mainly showcases open landscapes and orchards, this section is all about rock formations, gorges, and mysterious forest paths.

You walk through the famous sandstone rocks that have given the Müllerthal its nickname “Little Switzerland.” Narrow passages, moss-covered walls, and shaded ravines make this route one full of adventure and variety. Along the way, you pass idyllic streams winding between the rocks and hear the gentle murmur of water everywhere. The trail alternates between intense nature experiences and short open sections where you suddenly enjoy wide views over the valley. It is precisely this contrast, from dark rock gorges to bright panoramic viewpoints, that makes this stage unique.

After a series of winding forest paths, you reach the village of Müllerthal, nestled in the heart of this rocky landscape.

Note: If you are staying in Scheidgen and prefer not to walk there, you can simply take the bus from Müllerthal to Scheidgen. Extra convenient: in Luxembourg, buses are free!

This stage takes you from Müllerthal to Echternach through dense forests and impressive rock formations. On the way, you pass close to the village of Berdorf, famous for its striking sandstone cliffs. The trail winds between moss-covered boulders, narrow gorges, and tranquil woodland paths, occasionally opening up to reveal wide, scenic views.

Note: If you are staying in Scheidgen and do not feel like walking to Müllerthal first to start your stage there, you can also take the bus to Müllerthal and begin from there. In Luxembourg, buses are free!
