Cycling

Explore the scenic beauty of western Luxembourg on this relaxed bike tour along former railway lines. If you're fit, a detour to the St. Croix Chapel on the Kuelebierg is also tempting. Starting at Useldange Castle, which you can visit before or after your round trip, you first cycle through a wide meadow landscape to the former Reichlingen-Everlingen train station. This is where the wonderful cycle path on the old Jhangeli railway line begins.

In Niederpallen, historic trains and carriages await you at the former train station. You then reach Beckerich, where you can take a break or stop off at the old mill. If you have strong calves, the climb to the St. Croix Chapel is worth it. The tour finally takes you back to the starting point via Schwebach on quiet country roads.

Niederpallen — Former Railway Station

Highlight • Monument

Located on PC 17 (Piste cyclable de l'Ouest and Jhangeli West Tour), part of EuroVelo 5, this former train station and an old train still remain. Also a water tap is available for bottle refills.

Chapel of St. Croix

Highlight • Religious Site

The chapel is far away (relatively) and high above Beckerich. Surprisingly large, surrounded by thick oak trees and fortunately always open. When you open the massive wooden door, you are initially in the dark and can only see the altars. But if you press the switch to the left of the door, you can see what a gem is hidden here. Thanks to all the volunteers who do the work here. It is also worth seeing for non-religious people. A little further on there are some viewpoints, but unfortunately these are gradually being swallowed up by the vegetation.
