Tips from the Community
The place is strange. The French blew up a German bunker. During the demolition, the bunker ceiling rose vertically. Instead of making this place part of the culture of remembrance, Catholics erected a Way of the Cross in front of it. One has nothing to do with the other. And so it is a strange place with a penitent's bench and a cross and a Way of the Cross. It is not a place of remembrance, because the memory of war and devastation in the region has been maximally negated at this spot.

The path is marked as passable by bike. Depending on the weather conditions, it is not an entirely easy path to ride.

Lellingen is considered one of the best-preserved traditional villages in the region. It has been designated a model village by the National Heritage Authority, preserving its authentic character to this day. Lellingen, a charming village in the Oesling region, located about 10 kilometers east of Wiltz, is located at the intersection of three streams: the Lellgerbaach, the Pëntschbach, and the largest, the Clerve, which surrounds the chapel. The original chapel, dedicated to Saint Peter, was probably built around 1750 and consisted of an elongated building with four small windows. In the 19th century, the chapel was expanded and given its definitive form. With its unique architecture, the chapel features a narrow, elongated chancel and a higher, roof-shaped transept. In the center of the transept stands a small tower with a single bell dating from 1840, dedicated to Saint John. The interior is characterized by statues and reliquaries that reflect the rural piety of the Baroque and 19th centuries.
