Short climbing variant between Our, Sauer (and Wiltz)

Last update: 14.09.2021 22:37

The route starts in Vianden and first leads via the N10 through the Our valley. After 6.5 km you will reach Stolzembourg where you will descend from the Urdal via the Purpelescht coast , a nice climb on a very quiet road and the least difficult climb on the west side of the Our valley around Stolzembourg.

You will then cycle about 15 kilometres on a plateau (including an incline) before you get a long descent to the Sauer (Sauer).

Once in the Sûre Valley, you will climb almost immediately by climbing the Feischterbierg , considered by some to be the most beautiful climb in Luxembourg. Via Bourscheid and past the large Bourscheid Castle, it goes down to the Sûre. Then you follow the Sauer again and climb up to the Maarkebach, followed by a short descent and ascent to Gralingen (passage of the valley of the Blees).

You cycle across the valley of the Blees to Brandenburg, where the castle ruins rise above the village, and follow a short climb to cycle into the next valley of the stream. After that, it is a (relatively short) climb to get out of this valley of the stream. Via two cycle paths (free cycle paths) you cycle downhill to Vianden.

Food on the go: There are only a few restaurants on this street. It is possible in Bourscheid after 33 km (the route makes a loop to reach the restaurant of this village) or further in Brandenburg after 54 km (but the restaurant in Brandenburg is closed from 14 to 18 hours).
