Cycling with the railway
Cyclists can make the most of the offer from the Luxembourg Railways, CFL, which carries bicycles throughout the Grand Duchy free of charge, to cycle in comfort on countless routes from station to station. These follow green numbered national cycling trails which can be combined with one another at will.

A round trip through all five tourist regions of the Grand Duchy leads from Petange (arrival by train from Luxembourg city) via Useldange, Diekirch and Echternach to Wasserbillig (cycle paths No 12, 15, 16 and 3). From here there are two alternative: either cyclists can return by train to Luxembourg city, or they can continue to ride along the Mosel, taking cycle path No 3 (“Three Rivers”, see below) to Schengen. From there, they return by train (DB) on the German side of the Mosel as far as Oberbillig and take the ferry to Wasserbillig. There are also connections to the German cycle path network here.


• Cycle path No 12 (“Attert”) largely follows the former “Attert” railway line and takes cyclists through tunnels and over railway viaducts past old stations set in a delightful landscape marked by gentle hills, woods, meadows and gardens. A real treat for railway enthusiasts and nostalgics alike.
  
  
• Excursion along cycle routes No 17 (“West“) and 18 (“Ardoisières”) these branch off from the “Attert” cycle path (No 12). The first leads to the Upper Sûre lake in the natural park of the same name, while the latter connects with the Belgian cycle path network.
  
  
• “Three Rivers” cycle path (No 3): the Three Rivers tour also connects three different regions with one another. The starting point is in the medieval town of Vianden. The route leads along the Our and Sûre rivers from the Ardennes through the Mullerthal region - Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland - and into the Moselle valley to Schengen.
  



• By combining cycle paths No 6, 9 et 10 with stretches by train, you can take a complete, exciting round trip through the south of Luxembourg, the “land of the red rocks”, with its red canyons and former open-cast mining areas, which nature has now reclaimed. The dry grass and orchid meadows are typical of this landscape. This cycling tour also links a number of towns in the south of the Grand Duchy, including the future university town of Esch-sur-Alzette, the country’s second largest city, with its numerous cultural events throughout the year.

• Along the Ettelbruck/Diekirch-Gouvy railway link, cyclists can ride through the impressive Ardennes. Stretches of the national cycle paths No 16, 20 and 21 link the Kautenbach, Wiltz, Wilwerwiltz, Goebelsmuhle, Ettelbruck and Diekirch railway stations with one another.
  
  
• “Mid-Sûre” cycle path (No 16): plus exigeante dans sa partie initiale à travers les paysages caractéristiques des Ardennes (vue splendide sur le château de Bourscheid), cette piste longe ensuite la Sûre. Elle assure la connexion de Diekirch avec la « Piste cyclable des Trois Rivières » (no 3).
• “Wiltz” cycle path (No 20), “North” cycle path (No 21) and “Ardennes” cycle path (No 22) : from Bastogne in Belgium, through the Ardennes towns of Wiltz, Kautenbach and Lellingen to Wahlhausen (near Vianden), these three trails lead through the thickly wooded, narrow valleys of the Wiltz and the Clerve and are therefore relatively easy to cover.

With the exception of the rather more demanding cycle path No 16, these paths run through valleys and are therefore relatively easy to cover.

• In addition to the national cycle paths, in the north east of the Luxembourg Ardennes there are also two theme-based regional cycle paths in the Our natural park:

1. “Gardens cycling trail”: his tour from Troisvierges station to Clervaux stations invites you to explore the artists’ gardens and the varied landscapes of the Our natural park.
2. “Panorama” : this tour (which starts and ends at Troisvierges station) offers wonderful views, the chance to explore the “Cornelysmillen” nature trail and other peaceful places away from the beaten track.
