Still about 3.5 hours' drive from Utrecht, you will find the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. In all the violence of the surrounding regions such as the Belgian and Flemish Ardennes, the Eifel and further south the Vosges Mountains, this area is quickly forgotten. For many, it is a stop on the way to sunnier Alpine resorts. For club football fans, though, the names Dudelange, Differdange and Esch will mean something more. To the north of this stamp on the European map lie the Ardennes. The Luxembourg Ardennes, that is. We investigated and here are the best places for a nice trip and a great cycling holiday! Cycling in Luxembourg is a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beautiful playground<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Luxembourg Ardennes run roughly from the northern border with Belgium to Redange on the south-west side and Diekirch on the south-east. It is a beautiful hilly area, where you can be surprised by the length of the climbs, but certainly also the gradient. A small example: the rue du Sanatorium sounds friendly but you get a lot of altimeters in 3.8 kilometres with 7% average. And it peaks there to 15%(!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
