Moien!
Hey, I’m Jonny, and I’ve been exploring the hiking trails of Luxembourg and the greater region for over twenty years.
This website is my personal collection of favourite hikes 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!

Hiking Trails by Region
(For more trails by region, choose from the drop-down “Regions” menu)
Mullerthal
Auto-Pédestre Nommern – One of the Best Short Hikes in the Mullerthal
6km – Intermediate (rocky).
One of the Mullerthal’s best shorter hikes: a compact sandstone adventure direct from Nommerlayen campsite, with rocky labyrinths, serene woodland, and the superb Kauzelee rock formation.
Auto-Pédestre Fischbach
11km – Intermediate.
A peaceful woodland loop with a glorious hidden lake, typical Mullerthal rock formations, and a glimpse of the royal Château de Fischbach.
Mullerthal Trail Extra Tour C
10km – Easy / medium.
Farmland, forest, railway history and classic Mullerthal sandstone, all wrapped into one varied loop. Less drama than the headline “Mullerthal Trail” routes, but a more accessible half-day hike.
Minett
Auto-Pédestre Belvaux – The Four Hills Challenge
10km – Intermediate.
A surprisingly varied four-hill challenge through the Minett, mixing woodland climbs, urban interludes and wide views over Esch/Belval and Differdange.
Minettswee Tétange
10km – Easy / medium.
A high-quality Minett loop from Tétange, mixing red earth paths, mining relics and quiet woodland. Surprisingly atmospheric, particularly the remarkable “Perchesbierg” section that reveals the raw drama of this region’s industrial landscape.
Minett Trail: Differdange – Belval-Rédange
8km – Easy / medium
A quietly powerful walk through forest and former industry, where wildflowers bloom beside rusted relics and silence tells the story of a landscape slowly reclaiming itself.
Eislek
ER1 Erpeldange – Gateway to the Eislek
20km – Challenging.
A scenic and physically challenging trail with steep climbs, rocky viewpoints and tantalising glimpses of Bourscheid Castle. A taste of the Eislek.
Eislek Pad Heinerscheid
16km – Challenging.
A rugged forest loop above the Our Valley, where the steep gradients, fast-changing weather and ZERO phone signal certainly kept me on my toes. Quiet, remote, and at times unforgiving.
Schumannseck WWII Memorial Trail
3km – Easy.
A short, contemplative walk through a former battlefield near Wiltz, where life-sized wartime photographs merge hauntingly with the forest. Schumannseck is one of Luxembourg’s most original and moving memorials, where history, nature and reflection meet in perfect…
Luxembourg City
Mansfeld Circular Walk, Luxembourg City: In the Footsteps of a Lost Palace.
5km – Easy / medium.
Follow the ghosts of Schloss Mansfeld on this alternative tour of Luxembourg City. Palace fragments, fortress walls, wooded climbs… and some of the city’s finest viewpoints along the way.
Vauban Circular Walk, Luxembourg City: Through the Fortifications
5km – Easy / medium
Luxembourg City’s Vauban Circular Walk is a loop through dramatic fortifications, past hidden towers and up to scenic viewpoints. Better than any museum or textbook it reveals, step-by-step, how Luxembourg was a city built to…
Circuit Wenzel Walk, Luxembourg City: Best Views of the Old Town & Grund
4km – Easy / medium.
One of Luxembourg’s most scenic city walks, with spectacular viewpoints over the old town. A must-do for first-time visitors.
Guttland
Auto-Pédestre Hobscheid
9.5km – Easy / medium.
The forest around Hobscheid is pleasant enough, but really this trail is all about THAT tunnel. Damp, dimly lit, arrow-straight and highly atmospheric, it stretches for almost 700m towards a pinprick of light in the…
Guttland Trail Biisser Weier
Easy / medium – 9km.
A gentle woodland loop near Bissen linking deep, quiet woodland with tranquil ponds. Family-friendly, easy going underfoot, and ideal for switching off and enjoying the softer side of Luxembourg.
Auto-Pédestre Mertzig – Turelbaach Castle
9km – Easy / medium.
The newest Auto-Pédestre trail is a gentle countryside loop crowned by one of Luxembourg’s most curious landmarks: the water-ringed turrets of the Château de Turelbaach.
Moselle / Saar
Haff Réimech Nature Discovery Trail
5km – Easy
A stroller-friendly circuit where birdwatchers and curious kids alike will find plenty to enjoy. Don’t miss the striking Biodiversum centre, which brings the wetlands’ story to life.
Kasteler Felsenpfad
9km – Intermediate
The “Traumschleife” Kasteler Felsenpfad trail, only 45 minutes from Luxembourg City, showcases stunning rock formations, sublime views and historical Roman sites.
