Pont du Stierchen, along the Alzette Path. Mark Miller
This is a flat route along a quiet way-marked bike path in the countryside. Run by cattle fields and admire beautiful views of the forest either side of the valley. Our route starts at Walferdange train station, which is only 10 min train journey from Luxembourg central train station. From Walferdange Station, it’s 1 km to the bike path, using Rue de la Gare south towards the Prince Henri Stadium and then RIGHT on Rt. 125 by the Église de Walferdange. The bike path starts off by following the Alzette River north. Once on the footpath you just have to follow the “CP 15” signposts. Our route is an 11km out-and-back circuit between Walferdange and Helmdange. It’s quite pastoral. Follow the path for 5.5 km (or less), turning around at Rue de l’Alzette (next to a furniture store). Return to the train station. Or, go longer and hop the train back to Luxembourg!
Longer Run: Continue north on the PC 15 bike path. You could go all the way to the city of Ettelbrück, which is 30km from Walferdange. In Ettelbrück there is the option to getting a train back to the start point in Walferdange or all the way back to Luxembourg city (Line 10).

Walferdange train station. The actual path is 1 km from the station.
A 10k 'runseeing' tour of Luxembourg. Highlights include paths along the Petrusse and the Alzette rivers, Upper Town, the pedestrian quarter of the Old City, and trendy Clausen district.
This iconic route will take you through the oldest quarters of Luxembourg City, following parts of the way-marked Wenzel Circular Walk circuit. Also sections along the Chemin de la Corniche and Rham Plateau.
A short route featuring two small but lovely parks for running: Parc Municipal and Parc Merl-Belair. The city park has a London feel to it with spacious lawns and paths, while Merl-Belair, less than 1 km away has nice, landscaped grounds.
The Petrusse valley parks are a bit of a hidden gem in the middle of the city. Coming off the Adolphe Bridge, highlights include the St. Quirinus Chapel built straight into the rock, impressive fortification ruins, and some strange rock formations.
A longer Luxembourg run, focused on the more modern Kirchberg district but also incorporating some other Luxembourg highlights, including Luxembourg University, the Grund, and Clausen.
Some great trail running only 5km away from the city. Network of forest trails used by hikers, runners and cyclists, but not too crowded. We've mapped a 7km ‘perimeter’ loop, but there are several other marked loops and interior paths.
A runnable forest trail in the 'little Switzerland' part of Luxembourg, about 30 km east of the city. A well-known trail, "Route 2" goes for up to 37 km, through several towns, with viewpoints and interesting rock formations.
