37 cité JF Kennedy, L-7234 Helmsange Getting there – from Walferdange centre, at the roundabout take the CR125 signed Echternach, go through the spiral tunnel under the railway, and carry on up the hill for about 1km. Cité JF Kennedy is then the last turn on the right, just before the 50km limit ends. From the east, leave the A7 at junction 1, drive towards Echternach for 2km, turn right and right again at the Waldhof intersection, go straight across the Stafelter cross-roads, and continue for about 4km. Cité JF Kennedy is then the first turn on the left, just after the 50km limit (a long way down the hill). Parking in the street, the most spaces are 50 metres or so NE of the address. Please do not obstruct garage accesses. Trains – line 10 from Luxembourg at 18.25, 18.44 or 18.55 to Walferdange (11 mins), then 1km walk uphill. |

There are several crossings of major roads as well the railway. Please follow traffic rules and safety signalling. If you are held up by red lights or crossing barriers, this time can be subtracted from your running time. |
