Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Fond‑de‑Gras to Fuussbësch and back

A hands‑on draisine leg along scenic rails — a short outward ride to Fuussbësch followed by a tranquil return to Fond‑de‑Gras — frames the trip.

THE HISTORY

A working mill and railway heritage

After the draisine, a brief walk leads to the Moulin de la Lamadelaine for a guided tour that reveals how the mill worked and aspects of the miller’s life.

THE EXPERIENCE

Active, scenic, and social

Participants share pedaling duties on a vintage rail bike and take in lush landscapes — the outing blends physical activity, nature, and local history.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

The flow is simple and deliberate: rendez‑vous at the Fond‑de‑Gras station, take the draisine for an outward leg of about 30 minutes, dismount for a short 5‑minute walk to the mill and its guided visit, then remount for a calm return to the station; the station buffet awaits for refreshments afterward.
