Discover Munshausen

Munshausen combines hiking with cultural points of interest: the Auto-Pédestre starts in the village centre, while Saint Hubert Church and the Robbesscheier nature discovery centre offer further highlights. This allows you to plan your trip around different interests—a trail with a valley and bridge section, the village’s religious history, or traditional crafts. Visitors to Munshausen can choose from a range of themes: a hiking trail that returns to its starting point, historical details at the church, and practical demonstrations in the workshops.

Hiking and route orientation

The Munshausen Auto-Pédestre starts in the village centre and leads straight down into the Irbich valley. It then runs almost as far as the village of Drauffelt and follows the hiking trail to the Schofsbréck, the so-called Sheep Bridge. There, the route crosses the stream and gradually returns to the starting point. Since it returns to the starting point, the route forms a loop. Trail conditions may vary; check them before setting out.

The CFL Trail 2 continues into the village of Munshausen, described as idyllic and located around 100 m higher up. The information highlights different aspects of route orientation: for the Auto-Pédestre, the focus is on its course and return, while for the CFL Trail 2, it is on the village’s approximate elevation.

Saint Hubert Church: history and protection

Saint Hubert Church is a cultural highlight. It was built on the remains of a pre-Christian place of worship and is dedicated to Saint Hubert, regarded as an important missionary in the Ardennes. The church contains the burial chapel of the Counts of Clervaux. The high altar was created in 1705 by Jean Toussaint of Bastogne. These details offer different historical perspectives: the earlier place of worship, the church’s dedication, and the high altar’s documented creator and date. Under a ministerial decree of 28 December 1961, the church and adjoining cemetery are listed in Luxembourg as nationally protected buildings and objects.

Nature and crafts at Robbesscheier

At the Robbesscheier nature discovery centre, visitors can explore the nature of the Ardennes and related traditional crafts in a range of themed workshops. The wool workshop covers several stages of processing: visitors learn how to clean wool, distinguish it by sheep breed, and weave. The beekeeping and candle-making workshop includes a visit to the beehives and making a candle from wax. The two examples have different focuses: one starts with wool and its processing, while the other combines beehives with a product made from wax. If you would like to include these activities in your trip plans, check the workshop programme again before travelling.
