Luxembourg – cycling and walking adventures

Luxembourg offers both long-distance as well as inter-regional and regional cycling itineraries that consist of sections that follow river valleys, greenways on former railway lines as well as quiet roads. The journeys pass through picturesque villages, forests, green vineyards and orchards and historic landscapes with a rich mix of nature, heritage, and slow cycling experiences. 

The Slow Cycling Guttland – Hidden Treasure route in Luxembourg is a 31 km circular cycling tour starting and ending at Useldange Castle. It offers a moderately challenging but scenic ride through quiet countryside, gentle hills, and hidden lanes in the Guttland region. The route highlights the experience of “slow tourism,” guiding cyclists through peaceful landscapes and natural areas before reaching its main attraction, the picturesque Turelbach Castle set on an island in a lake. Along the way, riders enjoy a mix of nature, heritage, and panoramic views, making it a relaxed but rewarding discovery tour in the heart of Luxembourg.

More advanced cyclists could explore the Vélo Pomarium, a challenging 39.8 km circular cycling route starting and ending at Mertert in eastern Luxembourg, exploring the Moselle and Müllerthal regions. The route takes cyclists through a varied landscape of vineyards, orchards, forests, and river valleys, offering extensive panoramic views over the Moselle valley. Along the way, riders can discover natural highlights, cultural sites, and local producers, including nature reserves, historic paths, and scenic viewpoints, making it a diverse journey through Luxembourg’s agricultural and river landscapes.
