"Luxembourg enchants hikers with trails through mystical forests, rolling hills, and breathtaking vineyard views."
Hiking in Luxembourg packs surprising variety into a small country. In the Mullerthal, narrow rock corridors, forested ravines, and sandstone outcrops shape some of its most memorable walks, while the Escapardenne routes pull you through the ridges and wooded valleys of the Éislek. Farther south, trails above the Moselle near Remich and Schengen add vineyard slopes and broad river views.
