Nature for all: comfort hiking trails

Easy hiking circuits, wide paths designed for pushchairs and wheelchairs, benches situated along the trail so you can have a rest when you feel the need… Luxembourg is making its nature trails more inclusive by creating comfort hiking routes. The footpaths in Bissen, Remich, Echternach and Grevenmacher are clearly signposted so that everyone can enjoy outdoor activities and improve their sense of well-being.

From the start of the trail, you'll be completely immersed in the forest as you enter the Bei der Bonnert forest playground. Then, your journey continues through the enchanting Bonnert forest. You'll enjoy a relaxing stroll beside a stream on natural, stabilised paths while certain sections of the pathway are covered with a fine gravel surface. Also, there are plenty of benches along the way if you want to take a break.
