Hiking
The old Echternach bridge, it connects Luxembourg on one side of the Sauer with Germany on the other. The beautiful old stone bridge, which was rebuilt after the Second World War, is easy to reach from the Echternach Park as well as from several surrounding parking lots. From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the Sauer, but the old bridge itself is also worth a look. On the Luxembourg side you can also find the historic customs house. Overall, the old Echternach bridge is definitely worth a short visit.

The original bridge over the Sauer was blown up by the German Wehrmacht during the war in 1944. The Americans crossed the Sauer at that time with a floating temporary bridge near Echternach and after the war an emergency bridge was first built upstream to cross the Sauer. The current bridge was not realized until 1950.

Very close to nature with a campsite and many geese. All bathe together animal and human. For a hot weekend just made, off in the water you gazers!
