Viewpoint Over Michelslay

Highlight • Viewpoint

This viewpoint not only invites you to take a short rest, it also marks a turning point on the hiking trail. You leave the Sauer valley at this point and head over to the Schlammbaach valley.

March 29, 2025,Manternacher Fiels

Easily one of the best hikes in Luxembourg, a hit parade of pretty footpaths, ancient ruins, spectacular viewpoints, romantic vineyards, rickety old bridges and curious rock formations.

The hike described here is essentially a slightly shortened version of the "Traumschleife Manternacher Fiels", which nonetheless covers almost all of the main sights. It is also the Route 1 of the "Sentier …

March 7, 2026,Nr 3 ▪︎ Traumschleife Manternacher Fiels (Manternach Luxemburg)

Es ist das zweite Märzwochenende und der Frühling lacht bereits seit einer Woche. Wie schön ist das bitte?
Und um das Traumschleifen-Luxemburg-Trio komplett zu machen entscheide ich mich heute für die Nr3 "Traumschleife Manternacher Fiels"

Anreise wie Immer ab Koblenz HBF mit der RE11 diesmal nach Wasserbillig (mit anfänglichem SEV bis Kobern-Gondorf) und von dort mit der RB83 nach Manternach. …

A sentence with an x, that was probably nothing🙈🤣. Unfortunately, the Ts🎀 was only partially accessible. The beautiful section along the Schlammbachtal valley was closed and impassable🙈. Still, a shortened loop that was fun.
Best wishes and have a nice weekend 🙋‍♂️😊

December 28, 2025,Variationen der Traumschleife mit Felsformation Michelslay - Runde von Manternach

Since the originally planned route of the Traumschleife (Dream Loop) was unfortunately impassable after about 1.5 km, I modified the tour slightly and walked some sections in the opposite direction. This meant I had to descend the 100 steps. I think that was considerably more difficult than going uphill, because there were no safety features like railings and some of …

Manternacher Falls -
our first
"Luxembourg Tour" 🥳
here we first had to google to find out that "Fiels" is Luxembourgish and means to fall down.

The connection was clarified on site:
In the Moselle region, the landscape is characterized by shell limestone, which occurs in different layers and compositions.
The slopes on the Syre river are characterized by the …
