Description
The hiking trail network of the Liberation Route Europe is a unique transnational memorial that stretches over 10,000 kilometres across Europe and traces the advance of the Allied troops to liberate Europe during World War II.
In Luxembourg, the route runs for a total of more than 270 kilometres from the vineyards on the sunny slopes along the Moselle river, along the Alzette river to the over 1000-year-old fortress of Luxembourg City, crossing the rocky landscape of the Mullerthal and through the Ardennes in the north of the country.
The route passes numerous historical sites and tells stories from a variety of perspectives that were of importance in the final phase of the World War II.
This part of the route is an alternative that you can use from Kautenbach northwards via Troisvierges (Luxembourg) and Gouvy (Belgium) to get to Germany and the Netherlands more quickly.
