The Kaleikapp is a rocky viewpoint rising above the wooded Müllerthal. From the sandstone ridge, you have a clear panorama of valleys and rock formations, ideal for a short break during hikes.

After the narrow gorges, the view opens up at the top of the plateau over the Black Ernz valley. Pines grow on the sandy soils at the plateau's edge, while beech trees grow on the sandy-loam slope below. The shallower lower slopes are made of marl, a mixture of clay minerals and limestone, and are generally used for grassland. This demonstrates the dependence of the vegetation on the geological subsurface. On a designated section of the rock faces is the only climbing area in the sandstone landscape, where climbing is permitted only for members of recognized climbing associations. The rocks can be explored on the 4.2 km local circular route B2. This route is also part of the "NaturWanderPark deluxe" and the Eifel-Ardennes trail. The trail is also signposted as the Wanterbaach-Siweschloeff nature discovery route. Walk: B2 (4.2 km) Nearest bus stop: Berdorf, Duerfplaz (1.8 km)

The area along the Wanterbaach-Siweschlëff nature trail in Berdorf is one of the most impressive parts of the Luxembourg sandstone landscape. A massive sandstone formation lies here on clayey marl. Deep vertical fissures divide the sandstone into tall towers. At the edge of the plateau, some sandstone towers have separated from the rock faces and slid or tilted onto the smooth clayey marl layer, creating narrow rocky passages (Schlëffe). Siweschlëff means "seven gorges" and refers to a rocky labyrinth of such passages: between the sandstone towers, seven gorges, up to almost 30 centimeters wide and up to 20 meters deep, have formed. A path leads through the narrow and gloomy passages. Here, a special cool-humid microclimate has developed, allowing the mosses and ferns for which the region is famous to thrive.

A beautiful gorge that's easy to navigate thanks to the many steps. It doesn't matter, the gorge is easy to walk from both sides.

Constantly changing rock formations are present throughout the hike. Benches have been set up at many rock overhangs.
