The site itself is part of the Prënzebierg nature reserve, to which this hike also leads. After passing through residential areas belonging to Lamadelaine, the trail ends at Rodange station. There is a 1.8 km shortcut, marked CFL 29a, from Prënzebierg to Pétange station. The total length of thehike to Pétange is 8.8 km.
