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 and Remich are clearly signposted so that everyone can enjoy outdoor activities and improve their sense of well-being.

Comfort hiking trail Bissen

The comfort hiking trail Bissen is situated in the central part of the Grand Duchy, in the Guttland region. It is an easy route, suitable for the whole family that invites you to discover the landscape and relax in the heart of nature.

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.

The trail has no physical obstacles, but it does have a steeper gradient of 10-18% over a distance of 100 metres. Therefore, wheelchair users should be accompanied.

What's in store: comfortable paths and nature for all!

In 2020, the General Directorate for Tourism launched the "Comfortable hiking trails in Luxembourg" project. These trails are aimed primarily but not exclusively at the elderly, families with young children, people with reduced mobility, inexperienced hikers and people who have a greater need for comfort when hiking.

New comfort hiking trails are planned for 2024 in the Guttland and Moselle regions, where the aforementioned circuits are located. Additional trails will also be created in other regions of the country.
