Eislek Gravel Luxembourg

The race, for all age categories, will begin with a first starting loop of approximately 25km and a main loop that must be done once or twice depending on the category.

From the start, the riders are immersed in an atmosphere full of history and challenge. From the heart of the city of Vianden, the circuit begins with a spectacular and immersive cobblestone climb, guiding the participants to the Château de Vianden, guardian of the place for centuries. This start of the course immediately emphasizes the authenticity of the adventure, where history and landscape blend together.

Leaving the castle on the right, the route enters the Vianden forest for a gradual ascent of approximately 10 kilometres, towards the highest point of the course at an altitude of 510 metres.

The descent that follows alternates between tarmac sections and forest paths, offering a feeling of speed and freedom. Once along the Our, the course invites you to a fun and fast moment on a winding path, going back down towards Vianden. This 25 km start loop takes you across the finish line for the first time, where the real challenge is just beginning.

The German Loop – Cadence and Escape in the Undergrowth

After the start loop, participants set off on the German loop, designed to prolong the pleasure of the race with an alternation of different terrains and profiles. This loop offers a completely different feeling: the landscapes are gentler, the relief less demanding, and the cadence becomes more rolling. Here, the race extends over long sections under the foliage, where cyclists can pick up speed and appreciate the fluidity of the course, in perfect harmony with nature.

Once the German loop is completed, the circuit crosses the border again, and participants find a unique atmosphere by following the river on a greenway and a high path overlooking the Our. This passage brings the riders back to the center of Vianden to begin the second half of the circuit, following in the footsteps of the start loop.

A course where each segment has its own identity: between demanding climbs, fast descents, dense forests and rolling sections, the Eislek Gravel Luxembourg promises a mix of thrills and connection with exceptional landscapes.
