Moien!
I’m Jonny – Irish by birth, Luxembourgish at heart; primary school teacher during the week, avid hiker at the weekends.
This website is simply a collection of my favourite hikes (and occasionally other outdoor activities) from in and around the Grand Duchy, often accompanied by my family, a large flask of coffee and the boundless energy of my golden labrador.
Have fun in the woods!
