Wiltz walks

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 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".

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

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

Explore the Wiltz Valley via a section of the Escapardenne Lee Trail.

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

This route takes us through wide open landscapes alternating with paths and tracks through the woodland. The surfaces are either tarmac or dirt, and the paths are often still overgrown with grass given the time of year and the fact that they are probably not used very often. That’s the charm of these moments spent in direct contact with nature.

This walk takes us up above the meanders of the Sûre into the heart of the Éislek, following part of the Escapardenne Lee Trail, a hiking trail linking Ettelbruck to Kautenbach. Once we’ve reached Luxembourg’s largest fortified castle, we can walk around the next bend and head uphill to reach a remarkable viewpoint before descending towards Michelau station. If you’re short on time or energy, you can reach the station more directly by taking the Haute Sûre path down from the castle. It was designed to be accessible by train (free in Luxembourg since March 2020).

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.

The route starts near Arsdorf and takes you to the Lac de la Haute Sûre, following the course of a river through beautiful countryside; the return journey follows a branch of the lake and then another river. To return to the starting point, the route passes through the small village of Kuborn and then Neunhausen.

Circular hike around Lake Haute-Sûre and Pont Misère. Between trails and viewpoints, a concentration of the best paths and trails with a more substantial distance.

Starting from the Pont Misère, head towards the side of the lake least exposed to the sun – you’ll be able to tell by the vegetation you encounter. Pass by the Burfelt viewpoint, Inserborn beach, the Lultzhausen sculpture trail and finish at the ruins of Esch-sur-Sûre Castle.

This trail takes you on a tour of Lake Haute-Sûre. Set in the heart of the Haute-Sûre Nature Park, this lakeside walk offers magnificent views in all seasons. Along the 41 km route, you’ll discover the Lultzhausen sculpture trail, the Burfelt viewpoint, the ruins of Esch-sur-Sûre Castle, the Baschleiden-Tempelskamp observation tower and the Kaundorf 1940–45 bunker.

Discover all the facets of the ruins of Bourscheid Castle on its rocky outcrop. This castle is not only the largest in the country but also one of the most important between the Rhine and the Meuse.

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).

Much of the walk takes place through the woods, with the option to extend the walk via the arboretum. It is an easy walk suitable for everyone, though there is a slight incline. The path is wide and suitable for pushchairs.

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.

Today, I’m inviting you on a short trip through the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, travelling from one Belgian village to another. The route takes in roads, paths and forest trails, and, if you’re lucky, you might spot roe deer or fallow deer in the undergrowth.

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).

This ride takes you into Luxembourg. It starts in Hardigny, passing through Haut-Bellain in Luxembourg, as well as Huldange, Wilwerdange, Drinklange, Binsfeld, Troisvierges and Hachiville, before returning to Belgium to rejoin the RAVEL...
