Route description

Leave the station in direction of the blue railway bridge and cross it. Via PC16 Piste cyclable de la Sûre Moyenne, cyclists leave the urban areas around Ettelbruck and Diekirch. The route follows the “Sûre” river, whose course becomes more natural, all the way to the German border.

From Reisdorf, cyclists follow, partly with motorized traffic, the PC3 Piste cyclable des Trois Rivières up to Bettel. A round trip from Bettel to Vianden (+6 km), with its magnificent castle, is certainly worthwhile.

From Bettel the trip continues via the PC23 Piste cyclable Benny to Fouhren.

Here the PC22 Piste cyclable des Ardennes takes the lead. The strongly ascending 4 km from Fouhren to the viewpoint at the water reservoir of the pump storage plant on top of the Mont St. Nicolas is not yet signposted, but well indicated on the map.

In direction of Wahlhausen the PC22 will lead cyclists into the abundant Ösling nature. On its way to Wilwerwiltz, the PC22 partly runs on quiet country roads.

This is a tour for trained cyclists, who get rewarded by outstanding panoramic views.
