Route description

Information: If you get off the train on the opposite side of the station building, you  get to the cycle path without taking the stairs, by using the parking exit.

This tour follows the Wiltz river upstream over its entire length on the national cycle path PC20 Piste cyclable de la Wiltz. The small river is formed close to Bastogne (B) by the confluence of the Boivre and Oster brooks. The first part of the tour through a narrow valley with rugged rocky slopes is rather demanding right up to Wiltz.
From Wiltz-Weidingen you cross Wiltz in direction of Ettelbruck on the main road during  2 km in urban traffic, to take to your right at the cemetery.

Shortly behind Wiltz, starts an easy ascent, climbing steadily to Bastogne. This part of the route follows the track of the former Wiltz-Bastogne railway (PC20, RAVel L164 after the Belgian border), crossing four lit up tunnels. Shortly before Bastogne it is possible to visit World War II Memorial, Mardasson. After 2 more kilometers, cyclists reach the former station of Bastogne-Sud, close to the city center.

The way back, starting from Bastogne-Sud, uses the same route, a Iight 19 km descent to Wiltz.
