Open mapForest running trails
As part of its efforts to promote the well-being and health of its citizens, three new forest running trails have been created in the heart of the Bambësch forest.
With three difficulty levels ranging from blue to black, there is a trail suited to every skill level. The three routes can be combined to cover distances of 20 km or even 30 km, offering a complete sporting experience:
- Trail 1 (blue): 10.5 km – 145 m ascent
- Trail 2 (red): 10.2 km – 138 m ascent
- Trail 3 (black): 10.2 km – 168 m ascent
The trails take runners along some of the most beautiful paths in the Bambësch forest and are accessible from the main parking lots: Laftreff/Batterie/Spora, Juegdschlass, Maison B, Siwweburen, Kaleknapp and Bridel. The routes are clearly marked with signage and information panels for runners. These were put in place by the City's Service Forêts (Forest Department).
A LetzTrail connected experience
As part of its "Smart City" strategy, which is aimed at using new technologies to provide innovative tools in areas such as transport, education and tourism, the City has partnered with the Luxembourg start-up LuxTechSystems SA, creator of the free LetzTrail app. This application allows users to explore geolocated trails, including the City of Luxembourg's new Bambësch trails. A few clicks are all it takes to choose a starting point, launch your route, and monitor time and distance as you go. Users can also share their achievements, join or build communities, and plan sports activities together.
