Quick ride by bicycle from Kopstal to Luxembourg-Kirchberg

Starting out in Kopstal, a peaceful little village tucked in Luxembourg’s rolling hills, you’ll enjoy a ride that weaves together quiet lanes and green paths, taking you towards the buzzing energy of Luxembourg’s Kirchberg district. This route is just over 15 km, making it a solid but doable ride—perfect for an active morning or afternoon escape.

You’ll tackle a fair bit of up and down (expect a total ascent of over 220 meters), but most of the climbs are mellow, especially as you rise out of the leafy valleys around Kopstal. The surfaces are mixed, with a good amount of smooth asphalt, but you’ll also hit some gravel tracks and earthy paths—nothing too technical, but a wider-tire bike is a smart choice.

As you approach Kirchberg, you’ll notice the landscape shift to modern glass buildings and government offices—it’s the city’s business and EU hub, full of contrasts with your rural starting point. Whether you’re commuting or just out for a spin, it’s a great snapshot of Luxembourg’s blend of nature and cosmopolitan life.
