Cookies

No advertising tracking cookies. A technical cookie (NEXT_LOCALE) remembers your language; a session cookie is used if you sign in. Your favourites and your guest-mode location are stored locally in your browser.

Geolocation

Your location is used only at your request, to find nearby trails and calculate routes. It is kept locally on your device and is never transmitted to or stored on our servers.

Intellectual property & open data

Routes, points of interest and timetables come from official open data (CC0, CC BY 4.0, ODbL), whose attributions are displayed. Content published by users remains their responsibility.

Hiking disclaimer

Hiking is undertaken entirely at your own risk. Check the weather, your gear and the hunt alerts before setting off. The list of hunts is not exhaustive — those with 12 hunters or fewer are not announced.

Despite our care, we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information. LuxTrail.lu cannot be held liable for any damage related to use of the site or to hiking.
