Author’s recommendation

The pilgrimage chapel Girsterklaus with the picturesque cemetery is perfect for a break. Breathe in the relaxing atmosphere there.

Destination

Echternach (Basilica) - Rosport - Moersdorf - Herborn

Turn-by-turn directions

An ideal starting point  of Rute 1 is certainly Echternach, the cultural and touristic center of the region. Next to its Willibrord Basilica, the ancient abbey and the old city center, Echternach offers many interesting places. If you want to relax, stop at one of the bars or terraces.  There are many restaurants and accommodations in Echternach.

From Echternach you can start the hike towards Rosport and the lower Sûre. It's also possible to start from Rosport, Moersdorf, Mompach or Herborn.

You walk along the river Sûre which makes the border with Germany. Take onto your right to walk into the woods behind Echternach. Route 1 leads you next to impressive rock formations to reach the locality of Steinheim. You pass through wonderful meadows, have nice views onto the valley before getting to Rosport, where the Mullerthal Trail is passing next to the Tudor museum. You can stop for a break in Steinheim and in Rosport.

You then continue towards Moersdorf. On this part you will encounter a real cultural jewel which is Girsterklaus, a very old and tiny pilgrimage chapel which offers a beautiful view on the surrounding meadows and on the Sûre valley.

You then walk down again to the valley towards the locality of Hinkel, where "Kulturhaff Millermoler" a bed and breakfast, also selling regional products, welcomes you for a rest. The Mullerthal Trail continues towards Born and Moersdorf while passing through the forests. You can stop for a break in Born or Moersdorf.

After Moersdorf, the Mullerthal Trail leaves the river to turn to the west to Mompach. You continue your way towards Echternach passing through the forest of Herborn. There are no places to stop and rest in this forest and you will only be able to do so at the wonderful lake in Echternach or in Echternach itself.

Difficult after the floods. Some sections of the path damaged by mudslides and downed trees. Nevertheless, great route! Loved it. Took 8hrs not including stops.
