Active Pursuits

Fishing

The rivers of the Grand Duchy are an anglers' paradise, but one that's strictly controlled by the authorities. Complex regulations govern fishing in private waters and some rivers. Licenses are issued by the district commissioners in Luxembourg City, Diekirch, and Grevenmacher, and by a few communal administrations, such as those in Ettelbruck, Vianden, and Wiltz. Check with the local tourist information office about the local regulations and licensing before going fishing.

Golf

The Grand-Ducal Golf Club's course in Luxembourg City is known for its difficult, narrow fairways. Visitors can arrange to play the course by contacting Golf Club Grand-Ducal, route de Trèves 1, Senningerberg (tel. 34-00-90-1). The Hotel Association of Clervaux offers attractive golf vacation packages at country hotels; contact the Clervaux Tourist Office.

Hiking

There are marked walking paths throughout the Grand Duchy. During the summer, organized walking tours of 10 to 40km (6-25 miles) are conducted from Luxembourg City. Contact the Fédération Luxembourgeoise de Marche Populaire, BP 1157, 1011 Luxembourg-Ville (tel. 021/50-06-77; www.flmp-ivv.lu), for more information.

Horseback Riding

Riding is a favorite sport in Luxembourg, with stables offering mounts at around 12€ ($15) per hour. For a list of stables and riding schools, contact the Fédération Luxembourgeoise des Sports Equestres, av. de la Gare 14, 1610 Luxembourg-Ville (tel. 48-49-99; www.hippoline.lu). The organization puts together horseback tours in Luxembourg City and around the Grand Duchy.
