From the initial point at the town hall, the path goes through the forest to Himmelsbierg, where it offers a beautiful view on Larochette and the castle ruin, and Teiperlee in direction of the Soup in Heffingen. A seigneurial mill was located here and the buildings, in a good condition, still remain nowadays. The path is partly located above the old railway line Jhangeli. It continues towards Ernzen and, by an elevation, to Castle Meesebuerg offering a place to rest and to admire. The path then follows a slight ascent to the Gudelterhaff and leads along the Weyderterhaff and the Camping Birkelt, offering a rest possibility, back to the initial point.
Author’s recommendation
Visit the Saint-Donatus church in the village center in Larochette and be enchanted by the frescoes.
