NaturWanderPark delux: Rock Path 1 (L-Echternach)

Between the abbey town of Echternach and the baroque castle Weilerbach, forested paths lead through the gorges and crevices of a fascinatingly bizarre sandstone rock landscape.

Wild rock landscape and magnificent architectural culture:

From the historic border town of Echternach, the path leads to the viewpoint "Troosknäppchen" and right into the wild nature and the fascinating rock labyrinth of the Wolfsschlucht. Millstones were once quarried in Huel Lee. The late baroque castle Weilerbach with its garden and former ironworks testifies to the close historical connection with the Echternach Abbey. Rocky paths lead up to the edge of the Ferschweiler Plateau with a magnificent view from the Liborius Chapel over Echternach.

Highlights on the way:

City of Echternach with famous abbey and Mediterranean flair
Spectacular rock formations such as Wolfsschlucht, Perekop, and "Pig Sties"
Old millstone quarries of Huel Lee
Baroque castle and ironworks Weilerbach
View from Liborius Chapel over Echternach
