LetzTrail & the DigiTrail Concept – Reinventing Hiking Experiences in Luxembourg
LetzTrail is a free mobile application for hikers and cyclists that introduces a unique innovation in Luxembourg: the DigiTrail. This interactive format turns any hike into an immersive, educational and entertaining experience, blending technology, tourism and environmental awareness.
The idea is simple: throughout a designated route, virtual points of interest are triggered automatically when the user approaches them. A page pops up on their smartphone displaying multimedia content—videos, audios, text or photos—related to the exact location. Topics range from geology and local history to health, biodiversity, and cultural storytelling.
At the end of the hike, users can answer a short quiz. With the correct answers, they can collect a symbolic reward at the local tourist office—an engaging incentive, particularly for families and young people.
A smart solution for local tourism
DigiTrails offer real added value for Luxembourg’s tourism ecosystem. For users, they provide a dynamic and enriched experience. For municipalities and tourism boards, they allow:
• reduced costs in physical signage,
• flexibility to update and personalize content remotely,
• increased tourist engagement through regularly renewed trails.
Early examples in Luxembourg
In partnership with the municipality of Berdorf, LetzTrail created the “Sentier des Roches” DigiTrail on hiking trail B2, to be officially launched in June 2025. It showcases key geological sites like Raiberhiel, Siweschleff, and Kasselt, and explains how the area was rebuilt after the major floods of 2018.
A second DigiTrail will be launched simultaneously on trail B13. It focuses on awareness about Lyme disease, with five interactive points that explain its causes, symptoms, and how to act after a tick bite.
Looking beyond borders
LetzTrail plans to expand its DigiTrail network across Luxembourg and the Greater Region. Each trail can be customized to showcase local culture, heritage, environmental education, or destination storytelling. The technology is ready, the feedback is highly positive, and interest is growing among tourists and institutions alike.
LetzTrail aspires to become a leader in immersive tourism in Luxembourg—where every walk becomes an experience.
