Panoramaweg N1

We start in the center of the village and walk uphill through the village and the vineyards below the impressive shell limestone rock massif and further up past extensive meadows and fields over the Nittel rock plateau. Following the shady forest path through the “Reinbüsch” grove and past more farmland we reach the Windhof neighbourhood of Nittel. We pass the beautifully situated Panoramahütte, walk a short distance through the forest and then return to the village. Again and again, we are rewarded with the many different panoramic views far into the Luxembourg countryside. This hike is somewhat challenging.

Konstantinweg N2

The most famous Nittel legend is about the battle of the Franks against the Romans on the ‘Kamp Plateau’ above the rocks. When Constantine the Great was eight months old, his mother Helena had to wage war against the Franks. According to legend, Constantine, lying in a golden cradle, and Helena may have been present in the Roman camp above Nittel. This easy hike, steeped in history, begins at the sports field, leads past meadows and fields, through the ‘Reinbüsch’ wood and along a long meadow path above the rocks with magnificent views of the village, the Moselle and Luxembourg on the opposite side. The route leads past the Windhof pond and back to the starting point.

Felsenweg N3

Starting in the centre of the village, we walk uphill towards the vineyards, which we cross directly below the imposing and mighty rock face. We then continue to the stone sculpture ‘Großer Zeiger’. The sculpture was created in 2001 by the sculptor Jürgen Waxweiler as part of the ‘Steine am Fluss’ sculpture symposium. After a photo break with fantastic views of the village, the course of the Moselle and the vineyards, the narrow path leads us directly over the edge of the cliff with magnificent views. Passing an orchid area, the trail continues to the end of the cliffs before returning to the village through the vineyards. The hike is slightly challenging.

Mosel-Elblingweg N5

First, we pass through the subway at Nittel railway station, before strolling upstream along the banks of the Moselle towards the district of Rehlingen. At the confluence of the Rehlingen stream with the Moselle we turn to the left and, after passing under the railway line again and a moderate steep climb, reach the built-up area of Rehlingen. We return to Nittel through the Elbling vineyards below the ‘Kölliger Fels’, enjoying a constant view of the Luxembourg vineyard landscape and the village with its rock massif in the background.

Orchideenweg N6

This easy hike takes us across fields and meadows to the ‘Lumbüsch’ forest area and later past the ‘Langheck’ orchid nature reserve, where many orchid species can be admired in spring. After our walk through the higher vineyards in the 'Windhof' district and a short detour via the Nitteler Panoramahütte, we return to the starting point at the Nittel sports field.
