CULTURAL ROUTES
Read moreThe town of Wiltz has set up two cultural trails to discover the Upper Town and the Lower Town. About thirty panels mark out the two overlapping trails (some places are therefore common) and are complementary. The numbering therefore goes from 1 to 33.
Cultural Trail 1: This walk (yellow route) is about 3 km long and includes 21 sights in the Upper Town. You will learn, among other things, why Wiltz received the honorary title of Martyr City. You will get acquainted with the Prabbeli socio-cultural centre and stroll through Wiltz's garden. You can also admire the 300-year-old baroque high altar in the parish church of Our Lady. The route forms a loop: it starts at the Wiltz Tourist Office and ends at the Battle of the Bulge Museum, both sites being located in the castle.
Cultural Trail 2: About 4.5 km long, this second walk (red route) includes 25 curiosities, 12 of which are in the Lower Town. It also starts at the Wiltz Tourist Office and ends at the primary school built in 1951 according to the plans of Jos Werner and Chrétien Scholl, two architects from Esch-sur-Alzette. During the walk, you will discover the Rodange-Reenert-Kulturwee, a sculptural ensemble unique in Europe, the variety of decorated keystones of the former choir of the decanal church, the last windmill in Luxembourg, the geological Stations of the Cross and the sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima.
