Bourscheid (Luxembourg) walks

Starting from Michelau station (free parking, free access by train or bus from anywhere in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg), the walk heads south, crosses the Sûre (a river similar to the Ourthe and Semois in Belgium) and climbs up the right bank, following its course along a forest path, a small country road and a slightly steep trail.

Circular route in the Our Nature Park, taking part of the Escapardenne Lee Trail. Route can be done in all seasons.

Route in Hosingen Park, taking part of the Escapardenne Lee Trail and the Hoscheid sound trail, which can be enjoyed at any time.

This path winds through the Schlindertal valley. A slight detour will take you to its memorial. The isolated Saint-Michel chapel is a remnant of an ancient village that is now uninhabited. The highlight of the hike is the Molberlee, an exposed slate ridge offering spectacular views of the valley.

Head to Schuttbourg Castle via three national trails: the Escapardenne Eisleck Trail, the Sentier du Nord and finally the Escapardenne Lee Trail.

From one side to the other, circular walk from Kautenbach in the Our Nature Park.

Here is a hike around the Vianden region. Along the way, you will find points of interest and get a semi-complete tour of the region! If you want to see or take other trails, refer to the possibilities on the basic maps!

A demanding 40 km marathon trail around Lake Sûre (1350 m elevation gain/loss) in the heart of Luxembourg's wild landscapes. A technical and varied circular loop, highly recommended for trail shoes. Start and finish in Esch-sur-Sûre to enjoy a good meal or a well-deserved drink at the end of the course. Option to complete the route in two days: see details in "Description".

A lovely hike along the Sure river offering numerous viewpoints. Around 40% of the route is through forest, making it particularly suitable in spring and autumn. I completed the hike in 5½ hours with a 50-minute break.

Wiltz, the capital of the Luxembourg Ardennes, has a beautiful Renaissance-style castle and is an ideal starting point for hiking.Numerous marked trails (circular or not) allow you to explore the region in complete safety.

A climb from Clervaux to a superb view of the abbey bell tower and the valley, then a route mainly through forest, finally returning along the Irbich river on country roads or dirt tracks. You can shorten the walk by continuing from (6) to Drauffelt station (6 km in total) and returning by train (free on the GDL).

Hike starting from the ruins of the medieval castle of Beaufort and heading into the forest with rock formations, viewpoints and streams along the way.

Rammelay, Schelmelay, Goldkaul, Goldfralay and Eulenburg are the names of some of the rocks you will encounter along the way. Erosion has created bizarre shapes in the rocks, which can sometimes be compared to enormous heads.

This hike is rated as very difficult if done in a single day, but it is possible to complete it in two or three days with bivouacking. It is advisable to start near Consdorf and stop before Lauterborn to sleep; there are some beautiful spots. 

Discover spectacular caves and rock formations on a challenging trail to the Grotte de l'Enfer (Hell's Cave) and a gentle return along the Black Ernz.

The Bernistap Canal is a section of the canal that the Dutch had planned to build to link the Rhine to the Meuse via the Moselle and the Ourthe. Begun in 1827 during the reign of WilliamI, King of the Netherlands, work was suspended in 1830 during the Belgian revolution and finally abandoned when the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg gained independence. This canal has an underground section, the entrance to which on the Belgian side is still visible at km 1, if you are feeling adventurous. A few information panels are located along the canal between km 1 and km 2, as well as on the Luxembourg side (except for the section leading to the village of Hoffelt).
