Mullerthal Walk: Berdorf Rocks, Clifftop Wine & the Wolf's Gorge

The Mullerthal Trail runs for kilometres and much of it is ordinary forest. This walk skips that. Your guide takes you only where the rock earns the time: the mossy corridors of the Siweschlëff labyrinth, the clifftop viewpoints above Berdorf, and a cave you climb into by ladder. He explains how the sandstone was quarried, worn and split into the shapes you stand in.

Partway round, you stop on a rock terrace at the edge of the plateau. Your guide opens a bottle of champagne and lays out fruit, cheese and charcuterie while you sit above the treetops. Nobody hurries you.

Afterwards you drive the short distance to Echternach for the Wolf's Gorge. The walls close in until they nearly meet overhead. It is the strongest single sight in the Mullerthal and the right way to end the day.

Know before you go:

- 3 to 4 km on uneven, rocky ground with steps

- One short iron ladder, optional

- Bring shoes with good grip; sandstone turns slippery after rain

- Tell us in advance of any dietary details
