A lovely route, with plenty of shade from trees and rocks. We didn’t park in Echternach because the P-zone we were directed to only allowed a four-hour stay. We parked near the Liborius Chapel, where there is a free car park for walkers.
At Schloss Weilerbach, the route across their grounds was closed off. We walked along the fences, but it didn’t feel like that was the intention.
Beautiful route through fairytale rock formations. Start early on the Luxembourg side then it's not too crowded yet. The German side is also beautiful and very quiet.
Bring plenty of food and drink, there is nothing to get on the route.
Long and challenging hike, leads you through some of the astonishing views and features that you can enjoy here in Luxembourg. I parked in Berdorf, at the beginning point of the famous E1 trail as the car park is bigger, free and shaded. You will walk mostly through woods, so it's perfect during hot weather. Plenty of seats and tables are displayed for picnic fans. You will also walk through the ancient city on Echternach, where several shops and restaurants are at your disposal for a break. Here, the signposts are a bit difficult to find, but you can follow the map on this app and you won't get lost. What else I can say: enjoy!!!
We split it in 2 days, Ecternach to Berdorf, back on bus and in the morning take bus to Berdorf and start feom where you left the trail. Its more than 21 kms btw.
Too many people on the Luxembourg side (on a warm spring day) but okay for the rest. Didn’t find it too exhausting I guess because there’s a lot of variation.
The over all loop was great! Beautiful rock formations and stunning view from the top! Just be careful when it's raining, it's not super muddy but still slippery.
