Hosingen, a plateau village with a pool, a town hall and the N7

Hosingen is the administrative heart of a commune few people name correctly. Since 2011 it has been part of Parc Hosingen, alongside Consthum and Hoscheid, and it holds both the town hall, at 11 Op der Héi, and the «Parc Hosingen» school and sports campus that shares the commune’s name. In Luxembourgish it’s Housen, and that’s how it appears in council news.

Up on the plateau

The village sits high on the Éislek. The commune places its highest point at the Hosingen water tower, 517 metres, against 272 at Dasbourg-Pont down by the Our. The N7 runs through here towards Marnach and Clervaux, and since 2023 the commune has had a bypass with a tunnel under construction, the «contournement» of Hosingen. It’s a practical village rather than a pretty one, and there’s no harm in saying so.

AquaNat’Our, the rainy-day answer

What brings visitors is AquaNat’Our, at 1A Parc, which the commune bills as the largest sports and leisure centre in the north of the country. visitluxembourg describes more than 3,500 m² given over to water and wellness, with an indoor pool, outdoor pool, children’s pool, waterslide, non-swimmers’ pool, sauna and gym. On the timetable I checked as September 2026 closed, AquaNat’Our didn’t shut on any day and ran from 8am to 9.30pm, except Tuesday, when it started at 7am. The LuxembourgPass gets you in free for two hours, and if you’re touring the north as a family, it’s the best way I can think of to rescue a wet afternoon.

Walking and cycling from the village

Local trail PH 3 starts at the Parc Hosingen site and loops for 7.35 km, about two hours, with 180 metres of climbing and a moderate grade. The campus’s ecology centre is also the start of «Mam Robi duerch de Bësch», a woodland discovery trail on the commune’s list of walks, which I’d keep for small children.

For cyclists, the commune suggests a 24.5 km loop from Hosingen campsite through Pintsch, Lellingen and the Pënzebierg, plus a mountain-bike route down to Untereisenbach in the Our valley. With almost 250 metres between the plateau and the Our within the same commune, I’d hire an e-bike. For something more demanding, the Molberlee ridge and St Michel’s Chapel are in Hoscheid, in the same commune, and I cover them on the Parc Hosingen page.

Getting there and where to stay

Without a car, bus route 174 links Troisvierges, Wemperhardt, Weiswampach, Heinerscheid and Hosingen without a fare, as every Luxembourg bus does. STATEC counted just one hotel or similar in the commune in 2025, which is why I’d sleep in Clervaux and come up to Hosingen just for the pool or a walk. Coming from the UK, the simplest way north is the train from Luxembourg City to Clervaux, then the car or the regional buses listed on mobiliteit.lu.

Where the bus does not go, a car does: compare car hire in Luxembourg before you arrive rather than at the desk.
