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)
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…
Eislek Pad Boulaide
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.
Mullerthal
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.
Felsenweg 2 (From Beaufort)

One of Luxembourg’s most challenging day hikes. The Felsenweg 2 delivers relentless climbs, wild rock formations and deep forest valleys, rewarding effort with some of the Mullerthal’s finest scenery.
Beaufort B7 – Scenery and Solitude
12km – Intermediate.
A varied loop from Beaufort Castle blending solitude and scenery: deep, silent woods, a hidden WWII chapel, the peaceful Hallerbaach and the wilder Haupeschbaach.
Guttland
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.

Minett
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.
Minett Trail: Pétange – Differdange
16.5km, but can be split into shorter segments. Intermediate.
The Minett Trail from Pétange Gare to Differdange Gare features three distinct segments: Pétange to Fond-de-Gras (5.5km) is highly recommended, showcasing mining heritage and nature. Fond-de-Gras to Lasauvage (5km) is pleasant…
