The sixth edition of our traditional hike in the footsteps of Carlo Hemmer will start in Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland capital and lead us over the German border. Two day hikes await the participants, divided into two groups (group at intermediate speed and a sporty group at high speed). Our modern sports youth hostel in Echternach, located in the West of the country, is the departure point as well as the arrival of this hike.

The tour begins in the nature park Mullerthal and leads us in the direction of the Eifel over the hiking paths called ‘DeLux’. Some of the highlights of this day hike are the devil’s path as well as the Liborius chapel with its astounding view of Echternach. After this rather difficult guided tour with its many steps, a barbecue with a great lake view will be organised at the youth hostel Echternach, where we will spend the night. The second tour leads us through the Luxembourg nature park in direction of Berdorf. We discover the wolf gorge and the rock formations of the ‘Wanterbaach’.

Upon his passing, half of Hemmer’s wealth was donated to the ‘Fondation Lëtzebuerger Jugendherbergen’ founded in 1986 and later renamed to ‘Carlo Hemmer Foundation’. The aim of the foundation is to receive funds and manage the foundation’s assets in order to support youth hostels, social tourism, sporting events and educational activities – independent of political, social and religious aspects.}
