On the Slopes of the Sûre

Description

The walk starts at the church of Gilsdorf, where parking is available in the immediate vicinity.

On Rue de l'Eau, it goes steeply up to a path along a meadow where it's good to look back from time to time. You will be rewarded with a stunning view of the Sûre valley, the town of Diekirch, and across the only real military complex in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg: the Grand-Duc Jean barracks.

The climb eventually leads to an open field where you can say 'phew!' before entering the forest. At a crossroad, go right towards Moserhaff and the hamlet of Folkendange. You now follow a paved road towards Schroedeschhaff with lovely views.

Past the farm, it goes back into the forest toward the crossroad. Here, take an adventurous path to the right that eventually leads back to Gilsdorf. It's quite a strenuous walk, requiring a good level of fitness.
