Auto-Pédestre Nommern – One of the Best Short Hikes in the Mullerthal

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.
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.
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.
