Kaundorf: Hiking, Views and History

Kaundorf combines forest paths, impressive views and historic sites to create a diverse travel experience. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Kaundorf can tailor their stay to their own interests: highlights include a hike to the Runtschelt viewpoint, clear orientation on the local LH 1 trail and several historical landmarks.

Forest Path to the Runtschelt Viewpoint

The Kaundorf Auto-Pédestre hiking trail leads through the forest to the Runtschelt viewpoint. From there, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Upper Sûre Lake. Lac de la Haute-Sûre is another name for this body of water. Important for planning your day: Runtschelt is accessible exclusively on foot.

This part of the stay is therefore particularly suitable for anyone who wants to spend time outdoors and combine a specific hike with a scenic experience. Families can decide for themselves whether the forest path should be the focus of the day or whether to combine it with a historical destination in Kaundorf.

Finding Your Way on the LH 1

The local LH 1 hiking trail is signposted in both directions with white-and-blue LH 1 markings. These markings provide clear orientation along the way without requiring you to choose a particular direction of travel. The nearest bus stop to the local LH 1 hiking trail is “An der Hielt”, 500 m away. Those who include travel by public transport in their plans therefore have a specific reference point for this trail.

History at the Përmeshaff

Another focal point is the Përmeshaff, a historic farm near Kaundorf dating back to 1195. A 1 km-long path runs through the site, is accessible to wheelchair users and has five information panels. This makes it possible to experience the site not only as a historical destination, but also through its information and the route of the path. The exact length of the path is a useful detail for planning your day without specifying a particular walking time.

Further historical references can be found at the St. Pirmin spring on the Pëermesknupp between Kaundorf and Büderscheid. It was already a place of worship in Roman times. The Kaundorf bunker recalls a different era: At Pentecost 1944, it was occupied by four réfractaires, who hid there until liberation. Together with the Përmeshaff, this offers a historical perspective on different periods.
