This mountain bike ride scheduled for 17 July 2026 crosses the landscapes shaped by the former mining basin of southern Luxembourg. The route winds between slag heaps reclaimed by vegetation, industrial wastelands and forest paths, offering a unique perspective on this territory where nature is gradually reclaiming its rights.

Luxembourg's mining basin, located mainly around Esch-sur-Alzette and Differdange, retains visible traces of an intense steel-making past. This outing suits cyclists with good fitness levels, featuring moderate elevation changes and sections on unpaved paths.

From Gaume, allow approximately 45 minutes' drive to the mining region. Ensure your mountain bike is in good condition, bring plenty of water and sun protection for this summer ride. The route can be muddy after rain, so adjust your equipment accordingly.
