Dubious shit around Kordel (20 km hike)
2025-09-07 10:30 - 16:30 (Europe/Luxembourg)
One for the adventurous souls.
Remember the good old times when bridges were no longer there and half of the hike happened off-track?
Well, this might (or might not) end up being that kind of hike.
The bridge almost certainly is not there, so get ready to take your boots off.
Some of the paths are also dubious.
On the bright side, we may be able to actually find the hidden waterfall. Some do, some miss it. We’ll do.

Luxembourg Kilt Walk 2025 (40 km)
2025-09-27 09:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Luxembourg)
Time to dust off your kilts as the most eagerly awaited charity event of the year is approaching: the Lux Kiltwalk 2025. Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it this year.
The Kiltwalk is one of the largest charity fundraisers in the UK and has been a tradition in Luxembourg uninterruptedly since 2018. This year it will be celebrating its 8th edition.
The organisers are collecting voluntary donations for Pancreatic Cancer Action. Should you wish to donate, instructions will be provided upon registration.

Roughly speaking, this wee walk covers the distance of a marathon but it is entirely flat.
Should you find the full distance a bit challenging, you can consider walking one half and taking the train for the other leg.
Bring comfortable shoes, plenty of water and some snacks (you should be able to eat and drink a little something at the Boss).
Participants are strongly encouraged to wear kilts or some other tartan-resembling fabric.
Back at the PYG, a raffle with fantastic prizes will be followed by the regular quiz and karaoke.

REGISTRATIONS
Send an email to kiltwalk2025@gmail.com as soon as you can.
Please, do not register here as we are not the organisers of this event.

HOW TO GET THERE
Participants will gather in front of the PYG (Clausen) by 9 AM on September the 27th (Saturday) and walk of the way to the BOSS (Mersch) and back.

Anno 1900 Steampunk Convention (10 + 4 km hike)
2025-09-28 10:55 - 16:55 (Europe/Luxembourg)
Steampunk is a sci-fi subgenre that reimagines the 19th century through retro-futuristic steam tech and the visionary gadgetry of Wells, Verne, Shelley or Ellis.
As the previous years, I propose to have lunch at the Steampunk Convention after a very short hike. Then we can visit the convention. You can stay for as long as you’d wish.
We plan to walk back not Niederkorn but you can take the steam train to Petange instead.

Die Lorelei (18 km hike)
2025-11-01 10:45 - 17:45 (Europe/London)
One of the most mythical places in Germany, etymological consensus has it that Loreley (lureln Ley) would mean the “murmuring rock”, referring to the uncanny echo produced by the imposing cliff emerging from the the Upper Middle Rhine. Romantic poets such as Heinrich Heine drew inspiration from the folk legends surrounding the rock to tell us the story of a fair maid who, disgruntled by her lover, jumped into the river thus turning into an evil mermaid. Ancient legend or product of the romantic imagination? Mermaid, fairy or poorly-understood ancient goddess? We do not know. What we do know is that the tale of Lorelei bears resemblance to a myriad of others all across Europe.
We also know that we are going to hike, both sides of the river.
