🍷🎄 Last Christmas Market Luxembourg (13km, no loop) 🍷🎄

Hello Friends!

This will be the last time I'll drag you to a Christmas Market this winter, I promise!

But the Austrian "Spinat Knödel" are too good, I want them one more time.
If you never tried, I highly recommend, and you know what? Let me buy one for everyone who completed all the hikes of 2026!

It's a different path this time again, we did parts of it already in the past, but not the whole thing end to end.

Starting from Howald via Hesperange and Pulvermühl, we go back to the city, ending up at the "Wantermaart" around "Gelle Fra".

Depending on the weather, our mood, and physical condition, we can do a shortcut in the end, not descending to Grund and not climbing the famous 68 steps from the Petrusse valley to place de constitution.

And if someone is totally exhausted, there's an "emergency exit" in Bonnevoie/Hamm, you can take bus 9 from "Kofferfabrik" to Hamilius and wait on the Christmas market until the group arrives.

We will take a few short breaks to have a sip of water or munch on a snack, but there will be no lunch break, as we plan to enjoy the food and drinks at the Christmas market after the hike, such as Bratwurst, Glühwein, Gromperekichelcher, and - of course - Spinatknödel!!!

Meeting Point:
We will meet at the tram stop "Scillas" in Howald.
There are not many trains going south, but a tram every few minutes.

If you happen to take a train to Howald from the south, like RB 6785, leaving Esch at 10:02, Schifflange at 10:06, the Howald tram station is just around the corner from Howald Gare.

This is not a loop; we will start in Howald and end in the city center.

Hamilius tram stop is 2 minutes from the Christmas market, you can get back there easily, in the unlikely event that you came by car and left it in Howald.

Looking forward to having the last Glühwein of the season with you!
(at least on a Christmas market, there might be Glühwein on some hikes again)

Jens.
