100 members of the ERA-EWV-FERP association from all over Europe are participating in the conference in Echternach, on the occasion of the federation's third meeting in Luxembourg since its creation in 1969. Indeed, two great European trails pass through Luxembourg: E2 (4,850 km from Inverness (UK) to Nice (France)) and E3
(6,950 km from Santiago (Spain) to Nesebâr (Bulgaria)).
As part of the annual conference, 40 hikers from Belgium, France and Germany made the trek to Echternach, where they were welcomed today by the 100 delegates of the federation, at the crossroads of the two European trails in Hosingen, in Honicht.
