Wenceslas Wall Circular Walk
Mur de Wenceslas
A walking loop along the 14th-century city walls, taking about an hour to cover the ramparts, towers and a thousand years of history in the valley.
The Wenceslas Wall was ordered in the 14th century by Wenceslas II, Duke of Luxembourg and later Holy Roman Emperor, and brought the Grund district within the defensive ring. The tourism office's 'Wenceslas Loop' starts at the Bock Casemates, passes the walls and watchtowers, descends to the valley, crosses the Alzette river and returns to the old town. Information boards along the route are in Chinese, English, French and German. The full route takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, is free, has steps, and calls for non-slip shoes.
