Minett Cycle Preview

Due to unforeseen delays, the Minett Cycle will not be ready to go in 2022. We aim to deliver the best possible experience and to assure this, we want to get the entire tour length fully signposted for your safety as well as the safety of others. This unfortunately means that works will continue into next year.

In cooperation with our partners at "Esch2022 - European Capital of Culture", we're getting things ready for a big launch in 2023. Until then, you can always take a ride on one of our "Piste Cyclables" that lead throughout the region and discover what the Minett has in store for you that way.

...Unexpected sites in an unsuspected area...

The region in the south of Luxembourg has been strongly marked by the industrial culture but has managed to give itself a new identity over time, where the industrial past and new technologies melt into a unique mixture.

Hip and modern cities offer a large variety of places to visit and explore: rock festivals and arts exhibitions, traditional restaurants in former industrial sites and star cuisine, nature reserves and spectacular rides on mining trains and much more. The Minett is young and dynamic, multicultural and colorful – simply a region of contrasts!
