Houfëls

Where? Boulaide

The ‘Houfëls’ (high rock) viewpoint near Boulaide offers a breathtaking view over the Sûre Valley and the Upper Sûre.

At an altitude of 457 metres, there is a pavilion that was built by the Hames family in 1934. Although the pavilion can only be viewed from the outside today, the place still invites you to take a break with a picnic and a panoramic view.

The viewpoint is located on several hiking trails, including the Éislek Pad Boulaide, the Autopédestre Boulaide and the Natur Pur? trail. It can also be reached by car.

For history buffs, there are two historical guns from the Second World War to discover at the rest area behind the pavilion: a German 8.8 cm PAK (anti-tank gun) and an American 155 mm cannon.

Urban Art by Lisa Junius - Cité Waarkdall
This artwork by Luxembourgish artist Lisa Junius is a unique bonus on the tour. Located in Warken, about 2.3km from Ettelbruck (~32 minutes on foot), it lies just outside the main route — but it’s well worth the walk. Here, Lisa painted a large snake silhouette directly onto stone, using her signature blue tones and symbolic motifs. The result is a peaceful, powerful presence in nature — blending art, mythology, and femininity in her characteristic dreamlike style.
