Remich: Moselle Promenade, Vineyards and Hiking Trails

Remich brings together paths along the Moselle, vineyard landscapes and historic buildings. The Moselle promenade stretches for three kilometres beneath lime and cherry trees; vineyards and densely wooded areas surround the town, forming an amphitheatre-like panorama. You can shape your stay around a walk by the river, excursions into the countryside and impressions of Remich.

Hiking trails and excursions around Remich

The walking and hiking trails in Remich start at the car park beneath the Moselle bridge, in front of the tourist information office. The accessible walking trail offers views of the Moselle as it crosses the Esplanade, passes through small streets and goes through Jeannot Belling Park. It is wide enough for walking and wheeling, with no major inclines or physical obstacles. If you are looking for a route that combines views of the Moselle with this type of surface, it offers a clearly defined option.

The Remich Auto-Pédestre hiking trail has a different focus: it leads through old streets and vineyards, follows the national “Sentier de la Moselle” hiking trail to Goldberg and passes through Remich Forest on the return. The route thus brings together several town and landscape scenes in a single itinerary. The Wéngerts Tour focuses more closely on the vineyards: it climbs to the viewing platform on Scheierbierg, which offers a beautiful view over the town. If you would like to combine a hike with a viewpoint, this tour is one option to consider.

There is also a named cycling connection: the Jangeli Cycle Path (PC 11) connects Remich (PC 3) with Mondorf. This lets you distinguish between hiking trails with described sections in and around Remich and a cycling route with named destinations. A series of wine walks runs from Remich through Greiveldange to Ahn and includes a wine tasting at a local winegrower’s. You can take these tours independently, provided a tasting is booked; alternatively, you can hire a guide. The type of tour is therefore another consideration when planning.

Historic buildings and insights

Remich’s origins date back to Roman times. In Rue Neuve, the narrow cellar entrances stand out as an architectural detail. The parish church has an old Romanesque tower and a Romanesque façade with Baroque additions. The tower is part of Luxembourg’s cultural heritage and offers a panoramic view of the town. The street architecture, church and viewpoint give a visit a range of cultural highlights.

Saint Nicholas Gate is also a distinctive part of local history: it was built in honour of the patron saint of fishermen and boatmen. For those interested in architecture, it offers a dedication to fishermen and boatmen alongside the details of Rue Neuve and the parish church. The Caves St Martin offer a very different insight: guided tours lead through underground galleries excavated over a length of almost one kilometre. A visit thus combines an underground experience with the historic and architectural impressions of the town.

Experiences on the Moselle and in Remich

Several excursion boats offer trips on the Moselle, where you can experience the three-country border region from the river. The trips operate seasonally; check the timetable before making plans. Remich’s outdoor swimming pool has a heated pool and Olympic-length swimming lanes. As seasonal opening dates may change, it is advisable to check them before visiting. A modern 18-hole mini-golf course adds another leisure option in town.

Your stay can therefore include a range of activities: walks and hikes, a cycling trip, wine walks with tastings, historic buildings, an underground visit, and seasonal activities on and along the Moselle. Choose what to focus on based on what you would like to experience, and check the relevant tour or opening information for activities with specific times or dates.
