The weather today was FABulous, so we headed out to Larochette, a lovely town in the Mullertal valley. This area of Luxembourg has numerous hiking trails that highlight much of the beautiful terrain of Luxembourg. I opted for the "easiest" trail which was 8.8 km in length and involved hiking up and down some hills, it really wasn't stressful, and the scenery was gorgeous.
But there were benches along the way for some people who felt the need to check co-ordinates.
But it wasn't long before they were out on the trail again.
You can see just how fabulous the day was.
After stopping for lunch in town, we headed out to a special waterfall, not too far from the town of Larochette.
Just a little walk down the road, and here you see:
Such tranquility!
After we rested up a bit, we headed into Echternach, to meet Ernest so that we could hear the Glockenspiel played at St. Willibrord's church. Ernest was so excited to hear the performance, but once the music began to play, he was very disappointed.
The rest of us thought it was pretty cool. There we were, sitting in this ancient quaint town, listening to the playing of bells that hung in the tower of the church. What a unique and different experience for us!
After listening to several songs being played, we decided to head down the lane and stop into the Caffe Vicenza for an ice cream treat. That was probably one of the best decisions that we made today.
In case you are wondering, it actually tasted BETTER than it looks.
