Escapardenne Eislek Trail

A magical stay at the border of the Grand Duchy on a trail recognized as one of the most beautiful in Europe and certified "Leading Quality Trail - Best of Europe".

A great itinerary to get away from everyday life, to escape and dream of the great outdoors to be discovered on foot. Europ’Aventure proposes you to travel the Escapardenne Eislek Trail. This hike, in freedom, takes you on both sides of the Belgian-Luxemburg border. In the heart of the central Ardennes, from the Oesling, a 106 km marked trail will lead you from small discreet discoveries – ancient crosses, dry stone walls, brooks… – to vast expanses opening wide perspectives on the richness of the landscapes.

From Kautenbach in Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, you walk to reach La Roche-en-Ardenne in Belgium. The Eislek Trail has been awarded with the certificate “Leading Quality Trails – Best of Europe” which was developed by the European Hiking Federation (EHF) .

EscapArdenne – Eisleck Trail is the ideal solution for walkers who love wide open spaces and trails with a little difference in height: marked trail (yellow/white), quality accommodation, luggage transport, guidance application and information about the region. Everything is planned so that you can make the most of the region and its beauties.

Hiking in freedom – Variable duration from 3 to 6 days – Departure all year round according to your availability and your possibilities.
