Attention: Until further notice, the Kabaisercher cannot be booked.
A very unusual "Kabaischen" of the regional hiking trail "Minett Trail" can be found in Dudelange, one of the end (or starting) points of the hike through the Minett region. This hiker's hut, an elaborate steel construction, floats directly on the water surface. The "Kabaischen" is the unique result of a close collaboration between artists, engineers and architects.
The shiny steel front not only reflects on the water, but also allows a view of the cool water and the surroundings. Since the hiker's hut rests on the water, the ecosystem that has built up under the water surface should not be unnecessarily disturbed. A large picture window allows fascinating views, but those who prefer privacy can relax behind curtains in one of the available sleeping alcoves. A total of four beds are available.
The background to the "Kabaischen" in Dudelange is once again the region's industrial past. The cooling basin once served as part of the steelworks that processed the ore mined in the surrounding mining areas such as the Haard-Hesselsbierg-Staebierg open-pit mine. Today, the city's "Schmelz" district is a hotspot for culture and history, because there is not only an exhibition center in the form of the former pump house and a museum, but also another place to commemorate the rich history with the "Floater" hiker's hut of the region.
