Hiking the Escapardenne-Eislek Trail in the Ardennes (5 days)

We’ll begin hiking at 9 am from Klautenback on the crayfish path to  Schibberich before falling back into the valley. Then we will continues in the direction of Lellingen and head to a viewpoint where you can admire the Kischpelt.
We can also stop at the village of Lellingen. Then, we will take the asphalt path on the left side of the railway line, pass through the “Geeslay” rock, and reach the villages of Wilwerwiltz and Enscherange.
After an ascent on the plateau near Enscherange, magnificent views of the Kiischpelt arise. Passing through the copses near the “Walber” hill, you continue your way towards the Irbach valley. Finally, the hike goes over the “Nol” bridge, where it is possible to reach the village of Munshausen, to finally reach the Clervaux station.
