Rock Pond, Ernzen

Highlight • Lake

In the midst of towering red sandstone rocks, the Felsenweiher was once created for rearing carp. Since the pond was not profitable, breeding was abandoned and the small pond quickly became a popular destination for the population.

Echternach Lake

Highlight • Lake

There are lovely playgrounds for children on both sides of the lake.
The playground on the east side, with its ships and airplanes, is almost unbeatable.
There's even a dog playground behind it.

The artificially created lake in the 1970s is one of Echternach's main attractions. The approximately 4km circular path around the lake is highly recommended.

Walking paths, jogging, inline skating and cycling – the well-maintained paths around the lake are family-friendly and about 6 km long (around 2 hours)

A path directly parallel to the Sauer. Unfortunately it is asphalted and only separated from the road by a guardrail.
