In winter 2020/21 the bridge was unfortunately sheathed with wire mesh to protect hikers from falling rocks. that makes her less pretty.

From Aachen to Troisvierges or vice versa, the Vennbahn is always a relaxing experience. The minimal slope and the fully asphalted cycle path ensure the highest driving comfort. The Vennbahn is part of the Ravel program of the Walloon Region in Belgium and is reserved for non-motorized traffic.

Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian, Clervaux

Highlight • Religious Site

Since 1803, Clervaux has been the seat of a parish and deanery. Previously, the town belonged ecclesiastically to Munshausen. The first parish church was located on what is now the market square on Groβgasse. From 1910 to 1912, it was replaced by the current church, built in the Neo-Romanesque style according to plans by Johannes Franziskus Klomp. The same architect also designed the buildings of the Benedictine abbey.

The building is constructed of slate, blending harmoniously into the Oeslingen landscape. The veneration of the two martyrs Cosmas and Damian likely dates back to the influence of the Diocese of Liège, to which Clervaux belonged until the French Revolution. Around 1700, Count Albert de Lannoy received relics of these saints from Rome. They are still kept in the church today. The mosaics on the tympanum above the main portal refer to the patronage of these saints over the church.

Clervaux Castle

Highlight • Castle

Clervaux Castle is built on the side of a rock above the town. Built in successive stages, the castle's origins date back to the 12th century. The oldest part, the west wing with the country house, probably dates from an initiative of Count Gerhard van Sponheim, brother of the Count of Vianden.
Destroyed to ruins on December 17, 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, the castle was purchased by the Luxembourg state and completely restored.

Since the 1970s, the castle has been home to several institutions, including several excellent museums and exhibitions:
The Museum of the Battle of the Bulge was opened in 1974, the west wing of the castle houses the Museum of Scale Models of Luxembourg Castles, and the wing houses the famous photographic exhibition "The Family of Man", a World Heritage Site of the UNESCO state.
