Description

Kids & Family Refreshment stops available
Hike the Minett Trail regional footpath between Belval-Rédange and Esch-sur-Alzette train stations and discover the new heart of science and research in the new Belval district.

At the beginning of this section, you will experience one of the highlights of the Minett Trail: the Belval neighbourhood. It figures among Europe’s largest urban development projects on a former industrial site. Here, former icons of the industrial past such as blast furnaces mingle with residential newbuilds and a business district. Visit the former blast furnace facility in Belval and go up to the top: the views are stunning!

 

Follow the path in the direction of Rue de l’Alzette. Luxembourg’s longest shopping street also houses the Escher Infofabrik, where you can enquire about nearby tourist attractions, walking and cycling tours, as well as cultural events.

 

The section between the Belval district and the train station in Esch-sur-Alzette is also completely barrier-free and can be recommended as an alternative route for people with reduced mobility.

    Escher Theater
    Standing right on one corner of Resistance Square (also known as Brillplaz) in the heart of Esch, the Escher Theater is both a receiving and producing organisation. Each season, the theatre offers around 50 performances of theatre, dance and music – together with creative work which span all these disciplines. Here you can see productions from European theatres as well as from Luxembourg, but also work co-created with the local community. As Luxembourg stands at the crossroads of other countries, the venue asserts its cross-border and multicultural vocation through multilingual programming, primarily in French and German. Since 2018, plays for young audiences have been one of the main focuses of its programme.
