Adventure awaits

Discover the south of Luxembourg in up to ten stages

The Minett Trail crosses southern Luxembourg in 10 signposted stages, linking towns, former mining landscapes and nature reserves from station to station. Hike one section as a day trip or combine stages for a longer journey through the Terres Rouges.

Choose a stage by distance and difficulty, check the route details, and download the GPX file before you set out. Alternative routes connect the trail’s 11 Kabaisercher, distinctive overnight stays created for hikers. Plan your outward and return journey by public transport, wear sturdy footwear, follow the signs and stay on the marked route.

90 kilometres of nature and history are just a short hike away; so take the first step and dive deep into a rich world of biodiversity in the Minett region's nature reserves and find out why this remarkable region is also called the "Terres Rouges" ("Land of the red rocks"). The different stages connecting all the major cities and tourist hubs allow you to discover this unique region at your own speed, with each stage offering a varied challenge in terrain, length or incline.

In addition, eleven alternative stages allow you to hike between the “Kabaisercher” accommodations. The stages are available to be downloaded here.

Decades in the making

The Minett Trail is a love letter to an ever-changing region looking to (re)define itself, a rediscovery that has long since been coming.
