Discover Ulflingen: Nature, Trails and Culture

Ulflingen and the area around Troisvierges combine nature experiences, sporting activities and a remarkable cultural landscape. Those looking for a holiday apartment as a base for varied days away can choose between signposted hiking trails, cycling tours, green spaces, a swimming pool and historical discoveries. The region lies at the heart of the Our Nature Park in the Luxembourg Ardennes, the Éislek.

Hiking Between Nature Reserves and Panoramic Views

Several trails start at Troisvierges railway station or lead to important points of interest in the town. The Éislek Pad Troisvierges is a 19.34-kilometre difficult circular hiking trail. The start and finish are at the Tourist Info office on Rue de Binsfeld in Troisvierges. You should therefore plan this route as a full-day activity in its own right and take the stated difficulty into account when choosing your route.

A shorter alternative is the approximately 9-kilometre Cornelysmillen nature trail. It starts at Troisvierges railway station and leads into the heart of the Cornelysmillen nature reserve. The trail passes through species-rich wet meadows with a diverse bird population and features wooden walkways, observation huts and information boards. For families with different interests, this offers a way to combine nature observation and physical activity. Sideschlee also offers expansive views over Troisvierges and the surrounding countryside.

Active Days and Activities for Children

The Troisvierges leisure centre provides the public with sports facilities for beach volleyball, football, basketball, pétanque, tennis and squash. There is also a heated outdoor pool with a current channel, bubbling areas, water fountains, a 45-metre slide and two children's pools. Those travelling with children can switch between sports, water-based activities and quieter pursuits depending on the mood of the day, without limiting the trip's focus to just one activity.

The Jardin de l’Europe is also one of Troisvierges' green spaces. Designed since 2000, the grounds include walking paths, playgrounds and quiet areas. A large part of the gardens in the park was also created as part of the “Jardin à suivre” project. This makes it possible to enjoy a relaxed day with short walks and time spent outdoors.

Churches, Railway and Regional History

The E-bike tour “Laisse l’église au milieu du village!” starts at Troisvierges railway station, is 28.5 kilometres long and connects ten churches and chapels in the municipalities of Troisvierges and Weiswampach. The Franciscan church in Troisvierges houses one of Luxembourg's oldest organs. Those interested in religious buildings and regional architectural history can thus gain a concrete thematic perspective on the landscape.

Various construction phases can be seen in the buildings at the railway station; at the same time, it is an important link on Luxembourg's northern railway line. From there, the signposted Sentier des Passeurs Nord and the signposted Sentier des Passeurs Sud begin. The Sentier des Passeurs commemorates the escapes to Belgium of Luxembourg resistance fighters and people who resisted forced recruitment by the German occupying forces during the final years of the Second World War.

The CFL railway hiking trail leads from Troisvierges to Clervaux. No additional ticket is required for the return journey by train, as it is free of charge. Those wishing to combine the hike with the return journey can include this route in their travel plans. Near Huldange, the “Tunnel des chauves-souris Huldange” adventure trail also runs on both sides of an old railway tunnel; it is accessible from Luxembourg or Belgium.

Choosing the Right Location for Your Accommodation

For a trip focused on hiking, the points of interest at the railway station, the Tourist Info office and the signposted trails are important landmarks. The Troisvierges Tourist Info office is located directly on the Escapardenne Éislek Trail and serves as a contact point for hikers, cyclists and anyone wishing to discover the region. For days focused on culture, the churches, railway station and Sentier des Passeurs offer different themes to explore. A holiday apartment in Ulflingen can therefore be particularly appealing if you would like to organise your days flexibly around nature, physical activity, water and history.
