We will be exploring the hills and forests east of Wiltz. \nThis is another one I missed in the spring. Those who made it said it was worth repeating. \nThe train arrives at 10:18 and takes about one hour from Luxembourg. \nLinks to the GPX file and the Ups and Downs. \nLink to the carpool. \n  \n \n  \n\n Currently Registered\n Be the first!

However\, on this occasion we will skip Germany altogether. \nStarting from Schengen\, we will head south along vineyards and magic forests heading to the Stromberg and visiting a few caves along the way. Right across the bridge\, the French town of Sierck-les-Bain will be awaiting us in all its charming decadence. There\, we will walk around the château des Ducs de Lorraine and pay a visit to the Jewish cemetery. \nKeeping our southward course along the river Montenach should lead us to the National Natural Reserve of the same name. Finally\, we will head back north along the ridges and the Altenberg. \nThis is a long hike with continuous ups and downs and therefore it requires a reasonable physical condition. That said\, the elevation gain is very moderate as it ranges from 140 to a mere 330 metres. Furthermore\, improvising\, like we usually do\, in France always involves a fair deal of cross-country segments\, unexpected detours and difficult paths. So this one is for the adventurous hearts. \nLinks to the GPX file and the Ups and Downs. \nLink to the carpool. \nBus 315 departs from Luxembourg (Gare Rocade) at 10:00 and arrives to Schengen (Ennen am Doref) at 10:33. Those coming from Germany can take the train to Perl. \n  \n \n  URL:https://www.freeletz.lu/freeletz/event/schengen-sierck-les-bains-reserve-naturelle-de-montenach-29-km-hike/ LOCATION:Parkplatz Schengen\, Schengen\, 5444\, Luxembourg ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.freeletz.lu/freeletz/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/855145430_4.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Ed":MAILTO:free@freeletz.lu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Luxembourg:20220709T203000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Luxembourg:20220709T233000 DTSTAMP:20260517T083339 CREATED:20220703T061036Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220703T061036Z UID:255-1657398600-1657409400@www.freeletz.lu SUMMARY:Open air opera with the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg DESCRIPTION:Open air opera with the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg\nOrchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg\nChœur de Chambre de Luxembourg\nGustavo Gimeno direction\nAntonio Grosu direction de chœur\nKristine Opolais soprano\nThomas Hampson baryton \nGiuseppe Verdi: La forza del destino: Sinfonia\nGiuseppe Verdi: «Per me giunto è il dì supremo» (Don Carlo)\nFrancesco Cilea: «Io son l’umile ancella» (Adriana Lecouvreur)\nGiuseppe Verdi: «Va pensiero» (Nabucco)\nRuggero Leoncavallo: «Nedda!

Payconiq payment instructions will be provided to those registered once we reach the five attendees threshold\, in which case I will book all the tickets. If we are less than five\, each attendee will book his/her own ticket. \n  \nIl n’y a pas besoin d’une grande introduction quand on parle de Mariza. Principale ambassadrice de la musique portugaise contemporaine\, elle est sans conteste l’une des plus dignes héritiéres de la « Raihna do fado » Amália Rodrigues. Le 20 juillet\, Mariza se produira sur la scène du festival Echterlive à Echternach avec son programme « Mariza canta Amália » et nous fera voyager dans le monde du fado portugais avec les classiques d’Amália. \n  \nDeux voix. Uniques\, magnifiques. Amália Rodrigues\, la défunte « reine du fado »\, a été citée comme une chanteuse exceptionnelle\, au même titre que les plus grandes voix de la chanson populaire du 20e siècle – Édith Piaf\, Frank Sinatra\, Ella Fitzgerald et Oum Kalthoum. Mariza\, pour sa part\, a donné au fado une nouvelle dimension au 21e siècle. Ensemble\, Amália et Mariza sont deux forces créatives les plus pionnières\, influentes et marquantes du fado\, emblème de la musique populaire portugaise\, un patrimoine culturel mondial. \n  \nMariza et Amália – ce sont deux voix qui étaient destinées à se rencontrer. Ce qui est incontournable pour tous les interprètes de fado de renom a pris l’allure d’une initiation dans le parcours artistique de Mariza : Dès les premiers jours de sa carrière\, elle n’a cessé de chanter sur scène et en studio des chansons du répertoire d’Amália. \n  \nÀ l’occasion de son 20e anniversaire de carrière et du 100e anniversaire d’Amália\, elle a publié l’album « Mariza Canta Amália ». « Je pense que je n’aurais pas pu trouver de meilleure façon de rendre hommage à Amália et de la remercier pour le patrimoine et l’inspiration qu’elle nous a laissés qu’avec cet album »\, déclare Mariza. On s’y attendait depuis longtemps\, mais ce n’est que récemment que Mariza a sélectionné et réinterprété dix standards d’Amália adaptés au 21e siècle. Elle réussit parfaitement à conserver l’âme des chansons tout en leur donnant sa propre marque. \n  \nAprès avoir effectué des tournées estivales ces dernières années (entre autres Fribourg\, Rudolstadt\, Stuttgart\, Schleswig Holstein Musikfestival) et avoir joué dans de grandes salles de concert (Elbphilharmonie à Hambourg\, Philharmonie à Cologne & au Luxembourg\, Konzerthaus à Vienne\, etc.)\, la superstar portugaise de la musique du monde sera à nouveau présente sur la scène du festival Echterlive en juillet 2022 avec son programme « Mariza canta Amália ». \n  \n \n  \n  \nCurrently RegisteredLuiza \n  URL:https://www.freeletz.lu/freeletz/event/mariza-echterlive-festival-2022/ LOCATION:Abbey of Echternach\, 12 Prte St Willibrord\, Echternach\, 6486\, Luxembourg CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.freeletz.lu/freeletz/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/mariza-890x501-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Luxembourg:20220723T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Luxembourg:20220724T190000 DTSTAMP:20260517T083339 CREATED:20220713T210810Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220717T113745Z UID:297-1658566800-1658689200@www.freeletz.lu SUMMARY:Côte d'Opale (weekend-long hike along cliffs\, dunes and beaches) DESCRIPTION:On the weekend of the 23rd we are going on an expedition to my beloved Atlantic Ocean. Oh\, do I miss it…\n\nWe will walk along the shore of the Natural Park of Côte d’Opale in northern France and have a sip at every beach. \nA couple of merely illustrative GPXs files (Remember to right-click or press for a second or two in order to download the GPX): \nGPX file I \nGPX file II \nWe will walk along the shore and swim\, that is for certain. Probably both along the façade north and the façade west. The details are to be decided. \nIt will depend on the tides\, if high\, they can make the trails longer\, if low\, shorter. And on the whim of the moment. These are not loops so we can turn around at any time or stay in a place for a couple of hours if we so wish. \nAlso working many kilometres on the sand will be slower and more tiresome. \nSo we are not going to do long distances this time (perhaps 10-15 km per day). \nOn the other hand\, this is as flat as flat can be (min altitude is 0 and max 46 m). \nI would not expect high temperatures in areas so exposed to the Atlantic winds\, but bring sunscreen and something to cover your head. \nWe need to find accommodation at least for Saturday night. Those who wish can arrive on Friday evening. I might be one of them. \nThe carpooling will be arranged in due time. I can take three people. The drive is about four hours and a half. But if we take turns it should be alright. \nGiven the logistics involved\, early registration is recommended. \n  \n \n  \nCurrently RegisteredEd URL:https://www.freeletz.lu/freeletz/event/cote-dopale-weekend-long-hike-along-cliffs-dunes-and-beaches/ LOCATION:Cap Gris-Nez\, D191\, Audinghen\, 62179\, France CATEGORIES:Hike,Sea ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.freeletz.lu/freeletz/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/opale.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Ed":MAILTO:free@freeletz.lu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Luxembourg:20220730T105000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Luxembourg:20220730T183000 DTSTAMP:20260517T083339 CREATED:20220724T153331Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220724T224759Z UID:316-1659178200-1659205800@www.freeletz.lu SUMMARY:Weiswampach - Ouren : Hiking accross 3 countries and swimming in the lake DESCRIPTION:We can meet at Weiswampach\, in the parking lot behind the Église Saint-Jean-Népomucène (there are a couple of others around the lakes). \nIn order to get to Weiswampach one needs to take a train to Ettelbruck and then a bus from there. There are two buses arriving to Weiswampach shortly before the start of the hike. \nPlease\, leave a comment for carpooling options. \nThe hike can be either 18 or 23 km depending on the temperature. If it is hot we will do the short version and spend more time at the lake. \nThe trail runs mostly under the shade of the forests along the Our across Luxembourg\, Belgium and Germany. \nIt is largely flat\, as you will see if you click here.

Very flat too as you will see if you click here. \nOPTION 2: \nBëscht – Därend (north of the lake). Short exploratory hike from beach to beach (15 km). This one is no a loop and therefore we can turn around whenever we wish. Also pretty flat as you can see by clicking here. \nTentatively\, we are going to say Option I (Burfelt) but\, should we change our minds\, I will send the coordinates of the parking north of the lake. \nPublic transport seems challenging.
