Strasbourg - Luxembourg: Nature and Heritage
Self Guided • 7 nights

One of the smallest countries in Europe, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg packs vineyard-lined river valleys, sandstone gorges and rolling Ardennes forest into a landscape barely 80km across - linked by over 600km of waymarked national cycle paths.
Luxembourg currently features as the finishing point of our Strasbourg to Luxembourg cycling holiday - though with over 600km of national cycle routes across the Moselle, Ardennes and Mullerthal, it's a country we're keen to explore further.

Few countries pack this much variety into so small a space. Barely 80km from north to south, Luxembourg moves from the vineyard-terraced Moselle Valley to the fairy-tale ramparts of Vianden Castle, and on to the sandstone gorges and streams of the Mullerthal - all connected by a genuinely excellent network of waymarked cycle paths and free public transport.
It's also a quietly confident, trilingual country used to welcoming outsiders - nearly half its residents were born abroad - with the food and wine culture to match: crisp Moselle Riesling and Crémant, hearty Judd mat Gaardebounen, and a French-meets-German approach to the table that rewards a slower pace of travel.
From the vineyard slopes of the Moselle Valley to the sandstone gorges of the Mullerthal and the forested hills of the Ardennes, Luxembourg's landscapes shift quickly within a very short ride of one another - with the UNESCO-listed capital tying them all together.
A small, wealthy country with an outsized capital: Luxembourg City's Old Town and fortifications have been UNESCO-listed since 1994, its steep river valleys are threaded with cycle paths and a free public lift, and its history stretches back to a 10th-century castle on a rocky outcrop above the Alzette.
“Luxembourg is the world's only remaining Grand Duchy, and most of its residents grow up trilingual: Luxembourgish at home, French for official business, and German in the press - a three-language balancing act formalised by law in 1984.”
LukeCo-founderThe Moselle Valley in the southeast is flat, vineyard-lined and beginner-friendly. If you want more of a challenge, the Ardennes to the north and the Mullerthal - Luxembourg's 'Little Switzerland' - in the east both offer proper climbs and forested trails.
Not really. English is widely spoken, especially in Luxembourg City and among tourism operators, alongside the country's own Luxembourgish, French and German.
The Moselle Valley produces excellent Riesling and Pinot Gris, plus Crémant de Luxembourg, a traditional-method sparkling wine that regularly outperforms bigger-name rivals at international awards.
