Klang Hiking Trail — Attraction in Parc Hosingen

Original walking trail filled with elements to make music. Fun to do with kids. Quite a strenuous walk though. We did the full 6 km round with our kids of 6 and 7 in about 3 hours but especially the climb at the end was challenging. I read on average people need 4 hours for the trip.

The trail starts at the church. There's a very clean free public toilet there with drinking water fountain just across the parking lot in the building at the crosswalk. Be sure to bring loads of water, especially in warmer weather, you'll be needing it. There's nothing during the hike to refill on potable water. There are trashcans and benches at multiple stops.

We had trouble finding out in which direction to start the trail from the parking lot. Turned out we walked the trail in reverse, which is just as well doable as doing it in the right direction. All trail marks are done for both directions. If you want to start the trail in the proper direction, from the parking lot behind the church with the drums ornamenten, walk along the street towards the church and just follow the paved street going straight. If you want to do it in reverse, walk towards the hotel and take a left in front of the hotel. Keep following that bigger paved road. For both directions keep following the orange colored Klang circle signs.

We only got lost once at the white house which is located about halfway. There's one music ornament left of the house at the water stream there. The trail in both directions runs right from the house when standing in front of it facing the house itself. So when walking the trail in proper direction, take the path directly right of the white house going uphill. When walking it in reverse, take the bigger trail fitting a car going uphill on the far right of the house. We messed up here by taking the small walking trail left of the house going uphill. That ends in a trail that's totally overgrown and clearly not walked often after about 15 minutes which is where we turned around.

Every music ornamenten has a sign with it stating how far with the 6 km you are (this helps a lot for building motivation to keep going!) and it explains in German and French what you're supposed to do there. Even without being able to read it, you'll likely be able to figure it out yourself as well.

Another one off of the...

Nice trail, well kept resting spots. Be aware that there are some parts of the trail that are a bit steep, and might become slippery when the trail is wet from the rain. And there are some steep climbs that are a bit challenging when you are not very well trained.

We started at the official starting point, near a memorial. There weren’t slot of parking...

really nice 5km trail. I had done it years ago but all the instruments which were a bit worn at the time have been now restored and more joined the trail. beware of the "easy" rating given on their site. it should much more be qualified...
