The new 2025 Auto-Pédestre guide gives Luxembourg’s classic trails a modern refresh, adding regional gems to revamped existing AP trails. With 202(!) routes to choose from, here are five of my personal favourites.
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 stillness.
12km – Challenging. Unexpectedly epic! From a high-tech exhibition in Boulaide to the rocky heights of the Houfels, this Eislek Pad is full of surprises: public art, steep climbs, acorn-strewn paths and sweeping views over the Upper Sûre.
Hiking across borders? In Luxembourg it couldn’t be simpler. Several trails slip effortlessly into neighbouring countries. Boots required, passport not needed.
13km – Challenging. A spectacular cross-border loop linking the castles of Vianden and Falkenstein. Expect sweeping views, punishing climbs, and the exhilarating Lätgesbierg ridge. Lace your boots up tight and watch your step!
12km - Intermediate. Grandiose Mullerthal scenery without the crowds. The B8 starts with spectacular cliffs and rock formations before quietening into woodland and farmland. Not Berdorf’s top trail, but a good alternative for those seeking a calmer Mullerthal hike.
From red earth quarries to silent paper mills, these five trails reveal Luxembourg’s industrial past in landscapes now alive with forests and wildflowers.
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.
8km - Intermediate This trail leads you to the Schoofsbësch quarry, a magical lost place where the sounds of industry have been replaced by the buzzing of insects and the soft rustle of wildflowers in the wind. Take a picnic!
16km – Intermediate. A quiet cross-border loop with silent forests, riverside paths, a hidden mega-power plant, the grandiose sweep of the Ourtalschleife, and the haunting ruins of Falkenstein Castle. All in all, a satisfying, off-the-beaten-path day on the trails.
