Berdorf Things to Do Tips by himalia11

Hohllay / Houllay

This is an interesting little grotto. It's assumed that during the Roman period, people here have cut big rocks for mills - you can see the traces of it. Only some steps away is the "Amphitheater", another little grotto with some benches in front of it, perhaps some events take place there.

From the parking at Perekop, it's not too long and a nice way through the valley of the little river "Aesbach" (promenade B1). You have to go up the river. There are several low wood bridges over the Aesbach and you'll see again interesting rocks.

Labyrinthe

The "Labyrinth" is a concentration of several rocks, but you don't have to fear to get lost! There are only some interesting rocks! It is some minutes away from the parking at the Perekop, you just have to follow the signs and go down the river Aesbach. We did it the other way round - from Perekop to Geierslay, then down to the Aesbach again and came back via the Labyrinth.

Geierslay

From the "rock" there, called "Geierslay", you would have a nice view on the Sûre valley - if the trees weren't so high! Must be perfect in winter! But at least we could see a little bit...

You can reach Geierslay if you park at Perekop and go up there. Turn left and soon you will reach the sign to Geierslay. At this sign you have to turn right - but that's of course shown on the sign itself! You now walk along the plateau until you reach Geierslay. From there, you can go to Aesbach and Labyrinth, and then back to the parking, it's a nice round that takes a bit less then 2 hours (depending of course how fast you walk).
Surely this is not the only possibility to go there, there are several hiking paths that lead to Geierslay.

Hiking around the Perekop

On the picture you see the Perekop. Several steps lead up the rock, where you'll find a platform. I was surprised to see how high we already were after climbing up the stairs! There are much more interesting rock formation to see in near environment, like Geierslay, Labyrinth and Houllay. We walked there 2,5 hours to see them. You'll find signs to the most sights there, and there are lots of marked ways.

The Perekop can easily be found if you take the street from Berdorf to Echternach. Down in the Aesbach valley, take the first parking (left side of the street), in front of the huge rocks. If you won't find an empty parking space there, just take the next one (right side) from which you can follow a path back to Perekop.
