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.
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.
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.
