The Mullerthal region in Luxembourg is a breathtakingly beautiful, impressive and fairytale-like area. After a beautiful walk between the gigantic rock formations and after quite a few meters of altitude climbing, we completely understand why the Mullerthal region is also called Little Switzerland. The famous Mullerthal Trail is a popular hiking route totaling 112 kilometers that leads you right through the varying landscapes of Luxembourg's most beautiful region. These are our tips for hiking the Mullerthal Trail in Luxembourg!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Mullerthal region<\/h2>

The undulating landscape of the Mullerthal region<\/a><\/strong> is a fantastic area to hike through. The area is characterized by immense sandstone cliffs and insane natural beauty. The Mullerthal Trail is not for nothing the showpiece among the hiking trails of Luxembourg. You will not find miles high mountains with white snow peaks, but by erosion particularly formed rock formations, caves, gorges and meters high cliffs where you are lucky real adventurers see the walls climbing. All in all, reason enough to call this region the Little Switzerland of Luxembourg.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The hiking routes of the Mullerthal Trail<\/h2>

The 112-kilometer-long Mullerthal Trail<\/a><\/strong> is divided into three hiking trails. Of course, all these hiking routes can be expanded with additional routes, but these three together thus form the famous Mullerthal Trail. Hiking Route 1 is a route totaling 36 kilometers and is characterized by the impressive rock formations, forest areas and meadows with some cultural highlights here and there. Hiking trails 2 and 3 are both 38 kilometers but are definitely different from each other. Whereas on hiking trail 2 you actually walk through the area of Little Switzerland, on hiking trail 3 you walk more through the fairytale area of the Mullerthal region. Think of the familiar pictures of beautiful streams and romantic castles along the way. \u00a0<\/p>

The entire trail is well-maintained, and the distinctive signage means you certainly won't get lost easily. Difficult paths are equipped with footbridges, decks and stairs. You can therefore say that the Mullerthal Trail is doable for young and old alike. Handy to know is that the difficulty level of the Mullerthal Trail is medium to heavy, this is partly due to the many height differences.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Hiking route B2 of the Mullerthal Trail<\/h3>

For those who do not like multi-day hikes, it is good to know that you can also see the highlights of the Mullerthal Trail by hiking a small part of the route. In fact, in addition to the three main routes, there are several smaller hiking trails that allow you to explore part of the area. We walked together with a guide, which we can definitely recommend, the hiking route B2 that starts and ends at the tourist office in Berdorf.\u00a0<\/p>

Walking route B2<\/a><\/strong> is an adventurous route of about 4 kilometers. Along the way you walk across wobbly footbridges, climb (if you dare) the Alderhorst via an iron ladder, zigzag through the seven narrow rock gorges and arrive at an insanely beautiful viewpoint. And make no mistake, you can easily take a whole morning or afternoon for this hike!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Hiking route E1: the historic city of Echternach as a base<\/h3>

Another fun and highly recommended one is hiking trail E1<\/a><\/strong>, a circuit totaling 13.5 kilometers that starts and ends in Echternach<\/a><\/strong>. You can of course walk this route all the way, but a good alternative is to walk half the route. Park your car in the parking lot \"Parking A Kack\" and then take the (free!) bus to Berdorf. From here follow the hiking path E1 until you are back in the historic city of Echternach.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The highlights of the Mullerthal Trail<\/h2>

The Mullerthal region is far too big to see all the highlights in one go, unless indeed you set aside several days to hike the entire Mullerthal Trail. Any hiking trail through the region will take you to insanely beautiful places, but there are some highlights that really should not be missed. For example, the beautiful waterfall and bridge at Schiessent\u00fcmpel is definitely worth a visit. But also go to the beautiful rock formation Champignon near Nommern and the iconic Gorge du Loup \/ Wollefsschlucht near Echternach. Finally, we also recommend visiting the gorge D\u00e4iwelsinsel near Bergdorf.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
