Mullerthal is a nature reserve in eastern Luxembourg, in Europe, and it is often called the country's "Little Switzerland." The name suits the landscape: sandstone rock formations rise from the ground, gorges cut deep into the land, and waterfalls tumble over stone. The region is a natural place to spend a day outdoors.
What to expect
The main draw is walking. The area has well-marked hiking trails that wind through old forest and pass striking geological features that took a very long time to shape. Visitors who enjoy wandering on foot, stopping to look at rock faces and listening to water in the gorges, will find the setting rewarding.
- Dramatic sandstone rock formations along the paths
- Deep gorges and cascading waterfalls
- Ancient forest cover, good for a quiet walk
Planning a visit
Mullerthal suits anyone looking for an escape into Luxembourg's more scenic wilderness, whether for a half-day hike or a slower stay. Because the terrain is rocky and the trails can be uneven, sturdy footwear is sensible. Visitors interested in the wider country can combine a trip here with other parts of Luxembourg, making Mullerthal a good choice for a nature-focused stop within a longer itinerary.
