Discover the Roman history of Bitburg

Hiking in one of the best neighbourhoods

The tour begins and returns at the parish church St-Luzia of the 16th century . Through the town, along typical Eifel-houses, the route leads over the famous ``Jakobsweg`` to Messenberg. Whilst ascending, the view of the historic town of Welschbillig and Möhn can be seen. During the trail the "Jakobshut" offers shelter and resting possibilities. After the village of Träg, the path runs through a remote and romantic forest. Once the forest divides, glimpses of other villages can be seen. On the way back to the starting point, you will walk past contemporary witnesses from the past such as the Roman Langmauer.

Already in the middle of the second century, the Romans had a villa in Welschbillig. In the second half of the fourth century, they constructed an even larger one, which in U-shape was connected west of a 60-by-20-meter pond, surrounded by 112 herds.

Although the apartment is situated in a quiet area, this beautiful and renovated holiday flat offers a fast access to the cities of Luxembourg and Trier. A part from the fully equipped kitchen, the electro grill on the 6 sqm big terrasse presents another possibility to prepare your own meal. The living and dinig room as well as the 2 bedrooms offer enough space for 2 people. The rather small bathroom includes a toilet, a bathtub and a shower.
