What should I know about Luxembourg?
With an area of slightly more than 2,500 square kilometers, Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in the entire world. In spite of this small size, however, there are still plenty of great outdoor activities to try out.
The most popular are hiking and trail running in the summer. In fact, Luxembourg boasts several popular long distance trails, including the aforementioned Escapardenne Eislek Trail.

The trip was fantastic. Beautiful scenery and landscapes together with majestic hills. We lived a camping lifestyle for two days which was very enjoyable and even though we were relieved to finish after a tough 2 day trek, we instantly missed the feeling of being in the outdoors and away from the city. Our guide Thibault was excellent. He was the perfect guide for the trip, so helpful and knew what he was doing - couldn’t ask for better.
