Cycle paths in Luxembourg
Luxembourg has numerous cycle paths both in and out of town. The national network comprises some 950 km of cycle paths, of which 600 km are currently paved. Increasingly, local authorities are formalizing roads and paths for cyclists. You can find these marked trails by following the blue road signs with a white bicycle.

All national cycle paths are listed on the Ponts et Chaussés website. You'll find a map of national cycle paths, with useful information for each section. You can also download the itineraries. So you don't get lost along the way!
The luxvelo. lu website also lists cycle paths in Luxembourg and further afield. You'll find plenty of ideas for cycling tours in Luxembourg, to Belgium, France or Germany. What's more, the site not only provides route information, but also an online Googlemap map and GPX routes.

Our bike rides in Guttland
Situated in the center and west of Luxembourg, the Guttland offers a beautiful landscape. You can walk along the Attert cycle path, which runs alongside an old railroad line along the border with Belgium.
The Alzette Valley also offers a great idea for a walk, especially with children. From Luxembourg, you can follow the Alzette Valley from Grund to the commune of Hespérange.
Bike trips along the Moselle, Sûre and Our rivers
The Moselle valley and its vineyards can be explored over one or more days by bike.
The Visitmoselle.fr website lists the region's various cycle paths, and indicates the level of difficulty of each route. It's worth remembering that, while the Moselle river banks are flat, visits to the surrounding villages can quickly turn into sporting feats as you climb the slopes of the vineyards. Be careful before venturing out with young children. But what a beautiful view of the Moselle valley!
On these bike tours through the Moselle, Sûre and Our regions, you can spend the night in a youth hostel. Remerschen, Echternach, Vianden, Larochette and Luxembourg are charming stopovers. Youth hostels offer good comfort, and you can even take advantage of package deals.
