Camping Walsdorf

Hiking, Nordic walking and mountain bike trails leave from the site for those who prefer to ditch the car and stay close to base, or there's hot air ballooning a kilometre away at Fouhren if you want to be geographically close but way high up. You can fish on Vianden Reservoir, four kilometres away, between the beginning of April and the end of September (a permit is mandatory, so buy a two-week licence at the Vianden tourist office on Rue du Vieux Marché from 1 June). Vianden's a popular Luxembourg tourist destination: you'll easily see Vianden Castle, on the hill above the town and reachable by the Télésiège chair lift. The lift will leave you at a restaurant even higher than the castle to walk down 15 or so minutes through the forest; in summer, the less energetic or less mobile can take the tourist train to the castle from the town centre. Within walking distance of the castle, the Indian Forest Adventure Park can also be reached by taking the Télésiège and walking a bit downhill. It provides climbing escapades on 60 different climbing routes and courses of varying difficulty for beginner climbers and the more experienced. For day trips, have gentle walks in the Müllerthal area, 15 kilometres away, or wander around the abbey, gardens and museums in Echternach, 20 kilometres away.
