Aeroport Hike
Details
This is not a hike but an adventure! ✈️
I have found a nice hidden green area at one side of the Luxembourg Airport so why don't we go to check it out this weekend when the weather is still enjoyable.
I have planned a 35km version of this all the way from Wecker but guess what good old CFL decided to shutdown the train line at the weekend again so we going to keep that for a spring day and go with a shorter 19km overall version from Canach.
The trail: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/map/aeroport-hike-variation-1-639d79c?u=m&sh=4kcjgp
I chose Canach because there is a direct bus line going there from Gare Central (bus 421 Gare Rocade side), no need to switch, no need to bother with the train.
On this hike we will go through 3 different forest areas and our mystery 👽 landing site next to the airport.
- Birkewsierbesch
- Kazebesch
- Schetterhaard
- Aeroport
Once we reach the final area, we will do a loop there counter clock wise and go back to Sandweiler to finish the hike.
We are not going into the airport because there are no trails only car road/highway up at the northern corner of this but in case you feel like want to catch a flight afterwards there is always bus from Sandweiler ;)
Distance wise 19km with insignificant elevation (100m up max) so the hike is easily doable in 3 hours but as I said expect some adventure on this one: no access zones, bushwhacks, crossing car roads, razer wire fences, airport security guards, black hawk helicopters and whatnot so everybody is coming for their own responsibility 😎.
As the weather demands it I will also bring some Gluhwein🍷 and Xmas cookies 🍪 for the end.
Please have breakfast before the hike, no lunch break is planned, we going to have picnic at the end next to the airport somewhere.
What to bring:
- Hiking boots
- Hiking poles
- Dress warm as it will be 4C during the day
- Food and drinks
- Gluhwein, jegermaister and other wintry spirits only for the very end for warming up ;)
- Gloves

How to get there:
A) Take bus 421 from Gare Rocade (PLAT3) leaving at 10:12 -> arrives at 10:40
B) If you want to come with car the best is to park somewhere in Sandweiler as we end the hike there and get on the same bus (eg: 421 passes by Sandweiler Kiirch at 10:27)
This bus runs by the hour, if you miss the bus you miss the hike we will not wait for you.
