There's more to Luxembourg than you may know, and a lot of it can be seen on two wheels. Part two of our new series takes us through Luxembourg City!
In honour of European Mobility Week (16-22 September), an awareness-raising campaign on sustainable urban mobility by the European Commission, we've decided to show you some of Luxembourg's choicest cycling routes.
Naturally Caroline & Chris – our guides for this series – relied wholly on public transport for the places where they didn't have enough pedal power to get them to and from the start/end points.
The first of three guides in this series was aired on Monday, for which we sent C&C on a bipedal adventure from Schieren to Kirchberg. Along the way they see cows (of course), a castle, fields, forests, and the Mersch Monument of Independence. That's not bad for a couple of hours of leisurely pedaling.
We teamed up with LS Sports in Schieren, who sponsored this series and supply C&C with their bikes. The complete series will feature three guides, with the first instalment taking C&C from Schieren to Kirchberg. This second guide focusses on the City itself, and the third and final route sees the duo heading south from Kirchberg to Esch via Hamm, Hesperange, and Bettembourg.
Route 2 – Cycling around Luxembourg City
While the country as a whole has an abundance of natural beauty to offer, fans of the built environment will be hard pressed to find a better city cycling destination in Luxembourg than the City itself.
For this second guide, C&C strapped on their helmets and headed down to the park in Merl to start their ride. From there they went to the old town, Gare, Grund, Clausen, Pfaffenthal, and a whole host of places inbetween.
