Guided tours Luxembourg

The "Minièresbunn" is a mining train that takes you into the fascinating world of mining in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The journey takes you to the heart of Minett Park, to a time when Luxembourg's iron mines were still the driving force behind the country's industrialization. The site's history dates back to the ^19th century, when Luxembourg's mining industry was at its peak. At that time, numerous iron mines were operating in the Terres rouges region. The "Minièresbunn" train was an essential link in the railway infrastructure, transporting iron ore from the mines to the region's steelworks and blast furnaces.

Today, this mining train has been carefully restored and preserved to offer visitors an authentic immersion in the country's industrial past. Climb aboard and step back in time to relive Luxembourg's mining epic... The narrow-gauge railroad (70 cm gauge) runs from Minett Park (Fond-de-Gras) to Lasauvage, passing through the Doihl mine workings and descending underground through the old rolling gallery. At Lasauvage, the train continues on to Saulnes (France), a former mining and steelworks site. It's an impressive 4 km journey that appeals to young and old alike! Departure from Fond-de-Gras is from the platform next to the café-restaurant Bei der Giedel (with a lovely terrace to stop on the way back).

The Mysteries of Esch-sur-Sûre invite you to a walk of about two hours through the historic town, its castle and the ruins overlooking it. The route connects 21 theme stations from the Nature Park House to the tunnel leading out of the village, past the cemetery chapel, the log tower, the keep and many other stages steeped in history and mystery. The circuit is correctly marked out and each point of interest is commented on.
