It’s our last full day of holiday today so we’ve spent it relaxing in Esch-sur-Sûre. Tomorrow, we drive back up to Dunkirk, ready to catch the ferry back to Dover on Sunday morning. Two weeks have flown by! The morning began with a lie in, then croissants and coffee for breakfast. Three ducks, who’d also... Continue Reading →
We’re staying in Esch-sur-Sûre drive for our last 2 nights in Luxembourg. On the way there, we decided to visit Bourscheid where there’s a (yet another) castle and lots of walking routes. Following Google Maps to a supermarket on the way, we had a minor drama in Diekirch. We saw the sign and turned into... Continue Reading →
I love photographing waterfalls so I’ve been wanting to visit Schéissendëmpel since we arrived in the Müllerthal region. These falls on the Black Ernz river are really pretty, surrounded by mossy green rocks, with an attractive stone bridge above. I found a hike that went past the falls and we took the bus to Consdorf,... Continue Reading →
We’ve had a very long hike today (19 kilometres or 12 miles in old money) and, although my little legs are tired, it’s been wonderful… more beautiful views, woodland, caves and clefts. In hindsight, we should have done the walk the other way round because we ended up visiting most of the more popular sites... Continue Reading →
We’ve had a fabulous walk from the campsite today, exploring a trail leading through and around amazing rock formations in beautiful woods. It was only meant to be 4 kilometres long but ended being 6 or 7 with all the exploring we did, then 9 with a detour for something to eat in Berdorf. As... Continue Reading →
After a peaceful night... well... as peaceful as it gets when John has a bad dream and hits out at me!... we woke to a chilly, frosty morning. The sunshine soon melted it though and we've had a lovely 13 kilometre hike with some amazing views. The first main view point was from a tower... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, we took a little train up Shafbergspitze (1783 metres high). It was something I fancied doing for a treat, and part of the package of tickets for attractions that we bought for the region. The railway is Austria’s steepest cog railway and has been running from St. Wolfgang up the Schafberg mountain since 1893.... Continue Reading →
Today was the last day of our trek. I was partly sorry for it to end because it has been fantastic, but also partly glad because I’m tired and ready to relax. I’m glad I don’t have to pick up my heavy rucksack for a while! It was another wonderful hike… more beautiful and interesting... Continue Reading →
What a great day’s walking! Very long and the second half was very difficult but it was just stunning! Our best day so far, with our biggest ascent (1200 metres) and just as much descent. It was a beautiful morning and we set off very early to try and get as much of the hike... Continue Reading →
We had a shorter day today... just 11.6 kilometres... although the ascent was still almost 1000 metres. It's been very warm but we set off early so I coped ok with most of the climbs. We left the Rifugio and followed the road before joining a forest track up to a farm. We then joined... Continue Reading →
