Concerns Raised Regarding the Condition Of Wooden Footbridge on Mullerthal Trail

On Thursday 24 October 2024, The Regional Tourist Office of the Luxembourg-Mullerthal Region issued a statement concerning the wooden footbridge on the Mullerthal Trail, in the municipalities of Consdorf and Waldbillig.

The wooden footbridge provides access to the Kallektuffquell geosite. Concerns regarding the condition of the footbridge have been raised in recent weeks, leading to the Regional Tourist Office approaching relevant partners and interest groups with a view to reaching a solution.

The Regional Tourist Office is working closely with the concerned municipalities of Consdorf and Waldbillig, the Syndicats d'Initiative et de Tourisme (SIT), the Nature and Forestry Administration (ANF), the Directorate-General for Tourism at the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Natur-& Geopark Mëllerdall (NGPM). The Regional Tourist Office has a coordinating role to play in ensuring that the wooden footbridge is repaired quickly and sustainably.

Together with its members and partners, the Regional Tourist Office is keen to ensure that the hiking trail network in the region is maintained and upgraded, in order to maintain a high-quality hiking experience.

A study was commissioned to find a permanent solution to preserve the footbridge, taking the needs of both walkers and the region into consideration. The next steps will be discussed at a further meeting of the partners involved.
