As in the past, the team of trainers at youth hostel Echternach organises again climbing courses for kids interested in sports after the summer holidays. From the 16^th of September to the 16^th of December, young climbers aged 5 to 7 and 8 to 12 can once again try to climb the 14-metre-high climbing wall at youth hostel Echternach during 13 weeks. Three courses take place on Thursdays. The mini-koalas can climb from 13:00 to 14:00 or from 14:15 to 15:15. The slightly older children have their turn from 15:30 to 17:00.

These courses are for beginners as well as advanced climbers. Climbing is the perfect sport for children as it not only improves gross and fine motor skills but also develops the body's balance and muscles. Patience and endurance are also trained in this sport.

If you’re looking for a sportive activity in nature after the holidays, why not consider participating in our wellbeing-hiking tour? On Sunday, the 2^nd of January takes place the third edition of the traditional wellbeing hiking tour, with a vegetarian dinner to finish the day.

This year’s one-day hike will take place in the capital city of Luxembourg. Hiking in Luxembourg-city, you may wonder? But of course, because the capital is surrounded by forests and nature. The medium-difficult day tour starts in one of the oldest districts of the city - the Pfaffenthal with its youth hostel. At the beginning of the hike, the participants will be guided over the well-known youth hostels trail until Dommeldange. From here we continue towards Senningerberg with its green surroundings looking transformed during winter. The highlight of the tour: during the last few kilometres, we will travel by tram, before returning back to Pfaffenthal. The day tour is divided into two different groups: the leisure group (speed approx. 4km/hour) will hike about 22 km, while the sporty group will have a tour of about 27 km (speed approx. 5km/hour) on the agenda. The tour is all about ‘wellbeing’, as hiking is not only a very good endurance training, but it also combines the sportive activity with unforgettable nature experiences and therefore has a positive effect on our mind.

After the hike and to end the day on a culinary note, the youth hostel’s kitchen team awaits the participants with a delicious vegetarian dinner. If you would like to turn your hiking tour into a weekend trip, you are welcome to book a bed in the youth hostel, because the capital has a lot to offer.

Please register in advance, the places are limited.

Date:
Sunday, 2^nd January 2022 including a wellbeing-dinner at the youth hostel. Shower facilities on site. Don’t forget to bring your own snacks and refreshments for the hike.
