CFL Trail 3 Clervaux - Drauffelt

After leaving the station situated a short distance north of the abbey town, hikers start by crossing Clervaux, along the banks of the Clerve river. Visiting a tourist attraction or two in the city is certainly worthwhile. Leaving Clervaux behind and heading towards Reuler, the trail then follows the wooded heights of the winding valley of the Irbich brook.

Passing through the typical landscapes of the Naturpark Our nature reserve, the trail essentially uses national and international rambling routes such as the ESCAPARDENNE ÉISLEK TRAIL, a 106-km, cross-border Ardennes trail ranking among the Leading Quality Trails – Best of Europe. The two tough climbs on this CFL trail are characteristic of hikes in the Oesling.

This hike may be extended by CFL trail 4, Drauffelt - Kautenbach (16.2 km). Those who wish to walk back to 
Clervaux may do so via CFL trail 2, Clervaux – Munshausen – Drauffelt (8.4 km), in the opposite direction.
