Trip Summary

Evening walk to downtown Luxembourg. I started from Parc Hotel Alvisse and ascended first the Plateau de Kirchberg at op de Schleed. I then headed to the still relatively newly built up area at the Plateau de Kirchberg. There, I then passed by the Philharmonic Hall of Luxembourg. I then walked through the fortifications at Fort Thüngen to descend into the valley of the Alzette. On the other side, I found a way to get up to the Plateau Altmünster. From there, I used the Montée de Clausen to get into the city of Luxembourg. After walking across both the Place Guillaume II and the Place d'Armes, I then decided that it was time to head back to the hotel. Near the Rue des Bains, I got onto the Avenue de la Porte-Neuve, which I then followed until I got on the Rue des Glacis. Where this road makes a sharp U-turn (back south), I used some stairs through the forest to get down to Montée Saint Crépin. This brought me down to the Rue de Mühlenbach from where I connected to the Contournement de Dommeldange, which I then followed back to the hotel.
