Route description

You leave the station by the exit Pfaffenthal (rue St. Mathieu) and take to the right. Before the bridge, you follow the national cycle path PC1 Piste cyclable du Centre on the right side on its way to Beggen. At the nearby playground (park area) turn right, up to the street and take left, along the railroad, on PC1.

After nearly 2,5 km, at a parking, starts the PC15 Piste cyclable de l'Alzette, which you follow straight. Through the Alzette valley, passing Mersch, you will reach Ettelbruck, where the river flows into the “Sûre”.

The rather flat itinerary is suitable for almost all types of cyclists, also for children. As the tour runs parallel to the railway track to the north, there are many ways of cutting the trip short.
