Discover Manternach

If you’re looking for a hotel in Manternach, specific trail details can help you refine your plans: the routes differ in length, starting point and landscape. There are also nature and cultural activities at the A Wiewesch centre.

Forest Reserve and Viewpoints

Manternacher Fiels has been officially designated a nature forest reserve since 2012 and is also a protected area at both national and European level. The ravine forest in the heart of Fiels covers around 57 hectares and is Luxembourg’s largest ravine forest by area.

The Manternacher Fiels Dream Loop passes rocks covered in ivy, lichens and moss that rise up to 50 metres high. This route also includes a viewpoint on the Lelliger Plateau. The CFL hiking trail through Manternacher Fiels also leads to a viewpoint on the plateau. From there, you can look out over the nature reserve, the ravine forest and the Syre Valley. The trails therefore offer different landscape experiences: moss-covered rocks along the Dream Loop and views across several parts of the protected area on the CFL trail.

Hiking Trails and Cycling Route

The 11.5-kilometre CFL hiking trail between Manternach and Wasserbillig starts at Manternach railway station. Its first stop is the A Wiewesch Nature Reserve Centre, 100 metres from the station. The ANF No. 2 Manternach-Lellig nature trail is seven kilometres long and starts and ends at the A Wiewesch Centre in the heart of the village. After a short stretch, it enters the Manternacher Fiels nature forest reserve and reaches Lellig via the plateau.

At 11.5 kilometres, the CFL hiking trail is longer than the seven-kilometre nature trail. The starting points also differ: one starts at the railway station and runs between Manternach and Wasserbillig, while the other starts and ends at the A Wiewesch Centre. These details provide a practical basis for comparing trail length and route when planning your trip.

For a mountain biking outing, a circuit from Manternach runs through the Moselle and Syre valleys. The A Wiewesch Centre also organises themed walks that invite you to discover the region’s varied landscapes. There are numerous trails in the surrounding area. Alongside the individual hiking routes, you can therefore enjoy themed walks and a cycling route through two valleys.

A Wiewesch: Nature, Culture and Seasonal Themes

The A Wiewesch Centre is in the heart of Manternach, in a former farmhouse built in 1887. It features an exhibition about the natural and cultural heritage of the Syre Valley and its surroundings. The centre offers year-round activities focused on biodiversity and sustainability. A key October activity is making fresh apple juice, known as “Viz”.

The “miniWënzer” wine-growing experience also combines a local theme with hands-on participation: it takes place in the vineyard of the Manternacher Fiels nature reserve and engages participants’ senses in the production of wine and grape juice. Children aged eight to ten can discover how wine and grape juice are made. Check the current participation requirements before planning your visit.

The trails, nature forest reserve and activities at A Wiewesch offer different starting points for planning your trip: from views of rocks and valleys to a walk or bike ride, and themes such as biodiversity, cultural heritage and wine-growing.
