Description
The Via Botanica takes you through one of Luxembourg's most diverse and best-preserved natural landscapes. The path winds through broom heathlands, oak-hornbeam forests, sunny rock slopes, and meadows.
A special highlight in spring: the daffodil bloom
Every year between early and late April, the forests of Lellingen transform into a sea of wild daffodils and attract many visitors. The best time to experience this natural spectacle is early in the morning or on weekdays to avoid larger crowds.
Important notes during the daffodil season:
Stay on the marked paths – if the ground is trampled, the daffodils will not regrow the following year.
- Do not pick the flowers – leave them in nature so others can admire them as well.
- Parking options: Use the designated parking lot near the old control station and avoid private driveways or fields.
- Public transport: Wilwerwiltz train station is only 2 km from the trailhead, allowing you to visit the path conveniently without a car.
- Please keep dogs on a leash – to protect flora and fauna.
A hike for every season
The Via Botanica is a beautiful hike not only in spring but all year round. In summer, the lush greenery provides welcome shade, while autumn turns the landscape into a glowing mix of red and gold. Even in winter, the quiet forests offer a peaceful escape into nature.
Whether you are here for the daffodils or simply want to enjoy the beauty of the Éislek landscape, the Via Botanica promises an unforgettable experience in every season.
