Müllerthal

Since I'm in a Catholic part of Europe, I thought it would probably be best to plan an agenda for Sunday which wouldn't rely on any buildings necessarily being open. Taking inspiration from the German stereotype, I decided to go for a hike in Müllerthal.

Müllerthal is known as Luxembourg's "Little Switzerland", so I naturally want there with high expectations. While Müllerthal is undoubtedly a very pleasant part of the world to visit, I'm not sure it resembles Switzerland's towering mountains and pristine blue lakes. What Müllerthal does have, however, is a lush forest interspersed with a plethora of curious rock formations.

The hike was long but not too difficult, and I took great pleasure in overtaking several German hikers, for whom Sunday hikes were clearly a common pastime. The highlight of the hike was a wooden outlook which offered a spectacular view of the surrounding Luxembourg countryside. The photo unfortunately doesn't do it justice but it was a very impressive sight 10 km into the hike.Read more
