Again the trail goes through a rock passage. Practically standing on a cave / cliff, the hiking trail leads uphill through this crevice to high on the rock.

Highlight • Natural Monument

The trail before and after the marked rock passage is fantastic to hike. Path, rocks, forest and rest - what more is needed?

"Discover a miniature picture of the sandstone region of Luxembourg's Little Switzerland in a very small area" - that's what it says in the hiking description. Well, let's get going then.

From the car park at the campsite we take the access road to the route and then we go up the mountain to the small Hexelee cave.

Small but very nice walk in the nature park Müllertal. Thanks to @andy's wanderlust for the suggestion.

When I reached the crossroads near the campsite, I already found it strange that I had to turn left. There were no more blue …

Rocks, rocks and more rocks... The first half was pure sensory overload. I hardly moved from the spot because of all the looking and taking pictures. 🤣
It went up and down stairs, through narrow crevices, along huge rock formations, sometimes the way could only be guessed at. It didn't matter that the way back was very relaxed via a …
