This tour offers views of the ancient industrial area of Esch-Belval, the former heart of Luxembourg's steel production. Today, Belval is a new-economy and service hub where Luxembourg's university can also be found. After the first 3,5 km of this tour, there is a possibility to reach southern Luxembourg's most modern station, Belval-Université. Towards the end of this trip, more or less at Belval-Rédange station, ramblers will have to deal with a climb of well over 100m of difference in altitude. This station, located close to the French border, serves the towns of Belvaux (L) and Rédange (F). This trip ends at Belvaux-Soleuvre station.
