The second part leads away from the lake and up a hill called "Thoull". From there you have a beautiful view of Echternach. This place offers a perfect opportunity for a rest. On the way back you can make a detour to the city center of Echternach and enjoy the old town flair, make a visit or simply stroll and then stop to eat or drink something.
