Hiking Trails Under 5 km in Luxembourg

77 routes in Luxembourg qualify, ranked below by how much walkers rate them. They average 3.4 km and 80 m (262 ft) of ascent.

That is 18 percent of the 434 routes we map in Luxembourg. They are shorter than the local average, 3.4 km against 16.4 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 80 m (262 ft) against 293 m (961 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.

Short routes for a spare couple of hours, an evening walk, or a day when the weather only gives you a window. Most of these are on the gentler end, which makes the list a good starting point if you are new to the area. A good share of them are loops, so you can park once and finish where you started.
