Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is one of the smallest sovereign states in Europe. Its capital, Luxembourg City, is one of the four official capitals of the European Union. The City of Luxembourg with its old quarters and fortifications was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 due to the exceptional preservation of the vast fortifications and the old city.

The Luxembourg Ardennes is a fascinating hiking area. In Éislek, as it is called in Luxembourgish, there are over 200 circular hiking trails through forests, past castles, over high plateaus and between rocks.

The Éislek Pied groups 18 of these hiking trails around remarkable sites, which are particularly beautiful and varied. They are also one of the reasons the Éislek has now been voted Europe’s first quality hiking region (“Leading Quality Region – Best of Europe”).
