The hike leads mostly through the nature reserve "Manternacher Fiels". Rare plants grow in the cool, shady forest. Particularly impressive are the huge rock layer at the Michelslay. In between are exceptional distant views and a vineyard in the middle of the forest. The nature conservation centre "A Wiewesch" is located in a former farmhouse in Manternach.

Further information
This exciting trail leads mostly through the Manternacher Fiels nature reserve. From the starting point at Burfeld, you climb up into the nature reserve and enter an impressive ravine forest. The location of the forest on the shady slope of the "Fielsmillen" ensures high humidity and coolness. Deadwood lies above a sea of limestone boulders, all of which are covered in thick layers of moss. The remains of an old mill can be found in the Syr valley. Above the former timber mill, in the middle of the forest, is the Manternacher Fiels vineyard. A little later, the mighty limestone cliffs are the next destination. The rocks, which are covered in ivy, lichen and moss, tower up to 50 metres high. Behind the Michaelslay, over 100 steps carved into the rock lead further upwards. The next highlight is the viewpoint on the Lelliger Plateau, followed by a delightful descent through former vineyard terraces, where the old steps of the vineyard walls are used for hiking.
