The chapel offers the most beautiful view of Echternach in Luxembourg.

The chapel in honour of Saint Liborius, the Bishop of LeMans, stands high above the Sûre Valley and is reached by a steep, multi-level path leading up from Echternacherbrück. A chapel on this site was first mentioned in written documents in 1680. At the beginning of the 20th century, a new chapel was built on the same site and destroyed at the end of the Second World War. The third chapel, which still stands today, was built in 1951.


A magnificent view

From the platform in front of the chapel, you have a marvellous view of Echternach, the oldest town in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, with the famous Willibrord Basilica and the former abbey. Just a few steps away from the chapel, stone steps lead down to a hermitage carved into the rock, which has always been part of the chapel. From the end of the 16th century, hermit monks from the Echternach monastery inhabited this place.


Note: There is easy access to the Liborius Chapel from the Ernzer Hof in Ernzen. It is only a few hundred metres from the car park to the chapel on the edge of the plateau. The area around the Liborius Chapel has now been converted into a barrier-free viewing point as part of a German-Luxembourgish project.

A visit to the Liborius Chapel is also possible during a hike on the premium route Felsenweg 6 of the NaturWanderPark Delux.
