Description
The Minett Trail is a 90-kilometer-long hiking path running across the Minett region. In ten stages, you can experience smaller and larger towns as well as eight nature reserves. These impress with old forests and former mining areas. Due to the steep rock walls, red earth, and mine entrances, they are unique in Luxembourg.
On this section, you hike through the nature reserve "Kiemerchen-Scheiergronn-Groussebësch," which borders the "Gaalgebierg" of Belvaux. Along the way, you will again see red rock formations and traces of ore mining. Part of the path leads over an old tire test track, which today looks like an abandoned highway segment. Here, nature is steadfastly reclaiming its place. Thus, the path runs almost exclusively through an extensive forest area. On the Gaalgebierg is a large playground where you will also find inviting picnic spots.
Signposting
Directions
Please follow the "Minett Trail" signage, which you can follow in both directions along the path.
This section of the "Minett Trail" starts optionally at the station in Differdange or at the station of Belvaux-Rédange. Watch out for the signage with three red arrows on a white background. They are marked "in sight" and can be attached to streetlights or other posts.
In nature, the markings are found on trees and posts. At important junctions, there are also signposts with arrows indicating direction and distance to specific points, as well as pictograms with hints to possible hiking destinations.
For your safety
Please be aware that mountain bikers may encounter you along sections of the trail, and the trail partly crosses roads in urban areas. Therefore, please follow the indicated signage, do not leave the path, and stay aware of your surroundings.
