Ulflingen: Nature, Trails and Local History

Ulflingen (Troisvierges) offers several distinct themes to consider when planning your trip: hiking trails, an e-bike tour, sports facilities, and cultural and landscape highlights. Plan your stay around whether you mainly want to explore on foot, take a longer bike ride, or get to know the town and its history.

Hiking around Troisvierges

The Éislek Pad Troisvierges is a difficult 19.34-kilometre circular hiking trail. It starts and ends at the Tourist Info on Rue de Binsfeld. Route details and difficulty can change, so check the latest information before setting out. The Tourist Info is right on the Escapardenne Éislek Trail and serves as a point of contact for hikers, cyclists and anyone looking to discover the region. If you plan to visit, check the opening hours in advance.

The Cornelysmillen nature trail offers a much shorter route: it starts at Troisvierges railway station, is about 9 kilometres long and leads into the heart of the Cornelysmillen nature reserve. The trail passes through species-rich wet meadows with diverse birdlife. Its facilities include wooden boardwalks, observation huts and information panels. The marked Sentier des Passeurs Nord and Sentier des Passeurs Sud also start from the station. Check route conditions in advance.

Getting around by bike or train

The “Laisse l’église au milieu du village!” e-bike tour starts at Troisvierges railway station. Over 28.5 kilometres, it links ten churches and chapels in the municipalities of Troisvierges and Weiswampach. This provides a longer cycling route with a clear theme alongside the hiking trails. The description gives the route and its stops; plan your tour around this specific distance and its church-and-chapel theme.

The CFL railway hiking trail runs from Troisvierges to Clervaux; the return train journey is free of charge. If you plan to combine a hike with a train ride back, check the latest train arrangements before your trip. The railway station itself is an important link on Luxembourg’s northern railway line. Its buildings reveal several different construction phases, giving the starting point for the trails a historical interest of its own.

Local history and landscape

The Sentier des Passeurs documents the escapes to Belgium, in the final years of the Second World War, of Luxembourg resistance fighters and people who opposed forced conscription by the German occupying forces. The Franciscan church in Troisvierges offers another cultural highlight: it houses one of Luxembourg’s oldest organs.

The Troisvierges region lies in the heart of Our Nature Park, in the middle of the Luxembourg Ardennes, known as the Éislek. Sideschlee offers panoramic views over Troisvierges and the surrounding countryside. Historical themes and viewpoints thus complement the specific routes, without requiring you to plan the same kind of outing.

Sports and green spaces

Troisvierges Leisure Centre makes sports facilities available to the public for beach volleyball, football, basketball, pétanque, tennis, squash and various other sports. Availability may change with the municipality’s programme, so checking the latest information before your visit can help with planning. The heated outdoor swimming pool has a current channel, bubbling areas, water fountains, a 45-metre slide and two children’s pools. As details of the facilities can change during renovation work, check the latest information before your visit for these too.

Jardin de l’Europe is a green space in Troisvierges developed since 2000. Walking paths, playgrounds and quiet areas make it a different kind of destination from the longer routes. Gardens were created in Troisvierges Park as part of the “Jardin à suivre” project. This lets you choose between active outings, green spaces and the town’s cultural themes.
