Éislek Pied Hiking Trails

18 varied hikes in the heart of the Luxembourg Ardennes

The Éislek Pied is a collection of 18 hiking trails in the Luxembourg Ardennes, also known as the Éislek region. Each trail in the Éislek Pied takes you past characteristic places such as Bourscheid, Vianden and Diekirch.

These walks are easy to combine with a visit to one of the region’s cultural attractions, such as the castles in Bourscheid or Vianden or the military museum in Diekirch.

While walking the Éislek Pied Bourscheid you’ll also come across the Deiwelselter, or Devil’s Altar, a monument built with stones taken from a prehistoric tomb. The Éislek Pied Diekirch takes you past two unusual monuments: an oak tree in honour of Napoleon’s son, on Napoléonsknäppchen (Napoleon’s Knoll), and the natural stone monument Doigt de Dieu or ‘Finger of God’.

The 18 hiking trails vary in distance from 6.6 km to 19.3 km and, apart from one ‘difficult’ trail, are all classed as ‘moderate’. Due to their distance and level of difficulty, various trails are also suitable for beginners or those rediscovering a love of hiking.
