Selected alternatives for you

    In the municipality of Büllingen, two streams originate: the Warche and the Our. The GR route from Büllingen to Schönberg impressively connects the two bodies of water.

    At the beginning, the hiking route follows the former railway line near Honsfeld, which has been converted into the Ravel cycling path. Initially, one hikes on the "Warche variant" of the GR56 before also taking a section of the "Amel variant." From the small village of Buchholz, the path branches off south towards the impressive Frankenbach valley. Via Manderfeld and Eimerscheid, you reach the high-altitude village of Herresbach. The following valley of the Großweberbach is partly under nature protection. Along a small path beside the campsite area, the endpoint in Schönberg follows, where the Our shapes the village landscape. 

    Author’s recommendation

    On the riverbank wall of the Our, an interesting plaque describes the Our on its journey from the source at Losheimergraben to its confluence with the Sauer at Wallendorf in Luxembourg.
