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.
