Hiking

All around the castle. If you want to get to know Vianden and its surroundings, you’ve come to the right place! From the historic city, you first head up into the forest. The Beim Fändelchen viewpoint overlooks Vianden town and castle. To get to the castle, you follow the old fortress walls until you reach the final panoramic viewpoint at the Hockelstuerm tower.

Vianden City Walls

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

The ring wall began next to the first castle gate, fell steeply down to the valley to just above the Hansen-Mortier souvenir shop, rose again, forming an obtuse angle, to the upper town gate at the exit of the then main street, “Op dem Pawä”, now known as Alte Gasse, and then fell in a semicircle around the entire south side of the town to the bridge. A second part of the town wall also began at the castle, namely at its north-eastern outer wall, and from there ran steeply down towards Hockelsley, but did not reach the bridge and formed a closed ring with the semicircular wall around the town.
The ring wall was connected to flanking towers, which were spaced at irregular intervals from one another due to the terrain's defense. There were twenty such towers: one square, 15 semicircular and 4 fully round. The semi-circular towers were too open on the city side to prevent the conquerors from entrenching themselves inside. The five full towers, on the other hand, were equipped with a guard room on the upper floor. Each had its own name, which we know from the accounts of the count's rent collectors from the first half of the 17th century and from manuscripts in the municipal archives.

Vianden Castle

Highlight • Castle

Vianden Castle is definitely worth a visit. The individual epochs with the respective changes are very well documented and explained. From the beginning as a Roman castle to today. You should bring some time with you.

View of Vianden and the Our Valley from the Hockelsturm

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Ourtal is always a guarantee for a varied hike in the delux nature trail. A grandiose, ancient low mountain range runs through the Ourtal. The Our proves to be a true master of landscape design. The rocky Grenzsteig along the Lätges mountain with magnificent views provides an almost alpine experience. After so much ups and downs, the Ourtalstausee - the lower basin of the pumped storage power plant - invites you to take a relaxing stroll with its promenade and the Ourstaden von Bivels. The ruins of Falkenstein Castle are enthroned on a mountain rock high above the Ourschleife. A few steps downriver resides the medieval town of Vianden with its rebuilt castle - one of the most important and mighty castles in Europe.
