Hoflee

Where? L-9663 Kautenbach

The Hoflee viewpoint near Kautenbach offers impressive views over the Wiltz Valley and leads hikers along narrow rocky ridges through the wooded hills of Éislek.

The Hoflee viewpoint offers impressive views over the Wiltz Valley. The narrow path passages that lead there are sometimes challenging, but offer hikers wonderful views, including of the scenic railway line that runs through the valley. The viewpoint can only be reached on foot and is located on the Éislek Pad Kautenbach, Escapardenne Lee Trail and the Bunker Hiking Trail.

In the summer of 2018, the Hoflee was the scene of one of the largest forest fires in Luxembourg, which destroyed large parts of the forest. Today, nature is slowly recovering and the foundation that bought the area is supporting the regeneration of the forest.

The nature reserve around the Hoflee is characterised by ravine forests that grow on steep, unstable slopes. These mixed forests, dominated by lime and maple trees, are typical of the region and thrive despite the often extreme conditions. These distinctive forest types, which characterise the valley, can be found particularly on the sunny southern slopes.

Urban Art by Mantra
Upon arriving at the ‘Place de la Libération,’ you’ll immediately come across two massive pieces of graffiti. In 2017, the first graffiti by Mantra was created here, bringing a piece of nature back into the city. The tree at ‘Place de la Libération’ was perfectly integrated into the artwork by the French artist.
