New Edition of Walking & Hiking Guidebook Features 202 Trails

On Friday 24 October 2025, Éditions Guy Binsfeld presented the new Guide auto-pédestre - Walking & Hiking Luxembourg at a press conference held in the presence of Luxembourg’s Minister of the Economy, SMEs, Energy and Tourism, Lex Delles.

The 534-page trilingual (German, French and English) guidebook features 202 circular walks, including all “auto-pédestre” trails with their updated routes, as well as “Éislek Pied” trails, “Guttland.Trails”, “Nat’Our Routes”, “Felsenwege”  (Rocky Routes), “Komfort-Wanderwege” (Comfort Hiking Trails), “Traumschleifen” (Dream Loops) and “Minettswee” routes.

Now in its fifth edition, the guide covers Luxembourg’s five regions: Éislek (Luxembourg Ardennes in the north), Guttland (centre-west and Luxembourg City), Mullerthal (“Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland”), Moselle (east) and Minette (south).

The speakers at the press conference were Minister Delles, plus Éditions Guy Binsfeld representatives Marc Binsfeld, Sabrina Notka and Marie Mathieu.

They explained that Éditions Guy Binsfeld has regularly released updated versions of the guidebook over the years, with the previous edition dating to 2017. Much has changed since then; hence the changes made for the new edition, including updated routes and revised trail names, a refreshed design, more space for text and storytelling and the addition of new types of trails beyond the traditional auto-pédestres. The book is structured around the five regions, with an introduction included for each, as well as QR codes that link to the relevant page(s) on Visit Luxembourg website.

The new edition was produced in collaboration with the General Directorate for Tourism and the Regional Tourist Offices (ORTs) and incorporates partner feedback. A new subheading in the book title now indicates the number and type of trails included.

Following recent updates by the General Directorate for Tourism, trails are now marked in both directions - a new feature reflected in this edition.

Minister Delles gave an overview of the history of the guidebook, noting the ministry’s original “Circuits Auto-pédestres” publications issued between 1966 and 1985. He said that investing in hiking trails remains a government priority, with significant investments made in recent years to improve signage and make routes safer, more accessible and better marked. He added that the ministry was pleased to have a private partner to create this product for the market. “Every euro invested in tourism is a euro invested in residents,” he stated, highlighting the economic value of tourism, as well as how the guidebook showcases the diversity of Luxembourg.

Marc Binsfeld emphasised the value of hiking among residents and tourists alike, noting that the guidebook has become “an institution” in Luxembourg over the past 40 years.

The fully revised edition costs €45 and is now available in bookshops in Luxembourg. It consists of 202 removable maps with QR codes, over 700 photos, a main map showing all the circular walks and a checklist of all the routes - which cover more than 1,700 kilometres. More specifically, it includes 154 auto-pédestres, eighteen Éislek Pied, eleven Guttland.Trails, six Komfort-Wanderwege, five Nat’Our Routes, four Felsenwege, three Traumschleifen and Minettswee, plus a clear protective folder for the maps.
