Description
Comfortable hike, with one slight uphill, mainly through the forest, past Meysemburg Castle and back to Larochette where you enjoy a great view on the castle.
The picturesque village of Larochette (also called Fiels) lies in a valley and is surrounded by rocks and forests. In the center of the village, the so-called "Bleech", you will find restaurants, cafes and hotels and shops. The landmark of Larochette is its castle ruin, which sits on the rock above the locality and offers a romantic sight. The castle ruins can be visited.
The hiking tour leads from Larochette along the idyllic Manzebach to Meysemburg, which is halfway along the hiking tour. This castle is currently uninhabited but worth seeing from outside. The castle is surrounded by an idyllic forest and park landscape, where picnic benches invite hikers to take a rest .
At the end of the hike you come to the Verluerekascht viewpoint near Larochette. There you will be rewarded with an impressive view of Larochette and the castle ruins opposite.
