Hiking along the "Black Ernz" river is also highly recommended. A pure natural paradise.

Meandering through the beautiful Mullerthal region, the tourist highlight is, of course, the famous waterfall. The views from the river of the banks, farms, and villages are perhaps somewhat understated due to the beauty of the surroundings, but nevertheless magnificent.

Very beautiful and photogenic spot along the Mullerthal trail. It is right beside a busy road, which is a shame. Also because, with a parking spot 500m onwards, it is a very touristic and busy spot. People crowd this little waterfall (because it is very little, don't expect big waterfalls) with large numbers. Be sure to take a look at what I think is one of Luxembourg's most photographed nature spots, but if you can - make the trip longer. The woods of Luxembourg hold so many other beautiful and very quiet spots!
