Ride the bike to work! The Luxembourg-Echternach cycle path provides an ideal link between Niederanven and Luxembourg City.

Avoid traffic jams, take your bike!

Do you work in Kirchberg? Why not ride a bike to go to the office? The CO₂ emissions for a mid-range car are 250g of CO₂ per km in city traffic. So for a 15 km round trip, you generate more than 3.75 kg of CO₂. At rush hour, taking the bike doesn't take much longer than the car, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions to zero!

The Luxembourg-Echternach cycle path passes through the commune of Niederanven and is close to all the towns in the commune: Ernster, Hostert, Niederanven, Oberanven, Rameldange, Senningen and Senningerberg! It's perfectly suited to cyclists, providing a safe link between the capital's network of cycle paths and Niederanven.

Did you know?
The Luxembourg-Niederanven cycle path largely follows the old route of the narrow-gauge railway that linked Luxembourg station to Echternach station, passing through Eich, Dommeldange, Senningen, Hostert and Ernster before continuing north-eastwards to the picturesque Mullerthal and Echternach region. Luxembourgers were so fond of this little steam train that they gave it a nickname, the "Charly".
