Fodor's Expert Review Berdorf

Berdorf is a small town just 6 km (4 miles) west of Echternach. It has built up a name for itself as a vibrant center for rock climbing and hiking and is surrounded by interesting trails rising up from the plateau and passing through gorges, grottoes, rocks, and fissures. It's a popular base for hikes, with maps and guides to the area found in the local Tourism Information. If you still crave sights, the 55-meter-high Aquatower (www.aquatower-berdorf.lu) overlooking the town ironically contains a rather dry museum on drinking water, but the view from the top is worth the visit.
