General information
Quality camping in the Mullerthal region
Nestled beneath the watchful eye of the Larochette castle ruins and surrounded by forested hills, you’ll find hu Birkelt Village. Just a short drive from the Netherlands, it’s the perfect getaway for families with young children!A great choice all year round
This well-kept family campsite is ideal in every season. Outside the summer months, the heated pool is covered by a retractable roof, so the kids can enjoy a swim whatever the weather. Too warm to stay indoors? Then cool off in the outdoor pool!Outdoor adventures in the Müllerthal
There’s plenty to do on site, from table tennis and beach volleyball to enjoying the multisports court and indoor and outdoor play areas. Beyond the campsite, the untouched natural surroundings offer rock climbing, canoeing, fishing, mountain biking and scenic hikes. The Müllerthal Trail starts right at the campsite and is a must for anyone who loves walking. There are three main routes and four extra loops to explore even more. Don’t forget your hiking shoes and a torch – parts of the trail lead you through caves, over hills and past dramatic rock formations.Little Switzerland
The area is also known as 'Little Switzerland' thanks to its fairytale landscapes, beautiful nature and charming towns. Visit the tourist-friendly village of Larochette (2 km) with its lively square, music pavilion, cafés, restaurants and shops. Echternach (24 km), Luxembourg City (30 km) and Trier (40 km) are also well worth a trip for a mix of culture and great food.
Make time to visit the castles of Beaufort (13 km) and Vianden (24 km), or take a refreshing dip in Echternach Lake or the Lac de la Haute-Sûre (22 and 36 km). The latter is also great for paddleboarding and kayaking. And don’t miss Luxembourg’s most famous waterfall – the “Schießentümpel”. It’s only a 15-minute drive and then a short walk along a forest trail.
