White sand like in the Bahamas<br />
As mentioned in the beginning, there are several walking<br />
paths leading to Beaufort’s castle. The walking path B1,<br />
a 10.6km long round tour, is especially notable. It starts<br />
and ends at the castle. Along the way there is a beautiful<br />
viewpoint at which one can have a break and look far<br />
across the Sauer Valley. According to Patrick Deboulle,<br />
the walking guide of the Nature and Geopark Müllerthal<br />
– Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland, this walking path<br />
is recommended especially on account of its proximity<br />
to Beaufort’s castle, the viewing plateau and the wildly<br />
romantic Halerbach and Haupeschbach valley.<br />
Patrick takes us behind the castle of Beaufort to a<br />
beautiful former wash fountain overgrown with wild<br />
ferns, called the Klingelbuer. Next to it is an Archimedean<br />
screw – a pan head screw with which one can haul<br />
water onto a higher level. Children love this place. Then,<br />
Patrick Deboulle takes us to impressive rock formations<br />
that you can continuously see along walkway B1.<br />
The beautiful deposits, imposing overhangs and rocks<br />
with honeycomb weathering – bizarre structures created<br />
through the loosening of chalk from the rocks – these<br />
formations are created through tectonic movements,<br />
through compressions and the work of water. 200 to 250<br />
million years ago a sea existed in Luxembourg’s Little<br />
Switzerland and deposits of fine, white “sea sand” can be<br />
found, a fine sandstone created over thousands of years<br />
that originated in this ur-sea.<br />
At the top of the plateau, you reach a rock that looks<br />
like a huge stone mushroom with a set of stairs at its<br />
centre. Behind that you will be surrounded by holly.<br />
They are said to be intelligent holly-like plants because<br />
they – just like the Luxembourgish saying “Eis Beem hu<br />
Charakter (“Our trees have character”) – only possess<br />
thorns on the lower leaves, in order to stop enemies<br />
from eating it. Nature around Beaufort’s castle always<br />
has a surprise in store.<br />
