Along the way, numbered reference points mark the highlights and the specifics of the nature reserve. This trail, though very short, offers a journey through time by visiting the numerous remnants of the mining past. The hike is also a journey into the heart of the remarkable biodiversity as well: Visitors are guided through various habitats that have become quite rare in Luxembourg and will get the possibility to observe the rare local fauna, flora and diversity of fungi.
