Luxembourg
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a sovereign state, lying between Belgium, France and Germany. Divided into two areas, the spectacular Ardennes region in the north and the rolling farmlands and woodland in the south, it is bordered on the east by the wine growing area of the Moselle Valley.
The undiscovered realm
Russell Wheldon | 3 Nov 2017 | Read time: 3m 40s
From wherever you are in Luxembourg, you are always within easy reach of the capital, Luxembourg-Ville, home to about one-fifth of the population. The city was built upon a rocky outcrop and has superb views of the Alzette and Petrusse Valleys. Those who love the great outdoors must make a visit to the Ardennes, with its hiking trails, footpaths and cycle routes that take you through beautiful winding valleys and across deep rivers, a very popular region for visitors. If wine tasting takes your fancy, then head for the Moselle Valley, particularly if you like sweet, fruity wines. From late spring to early autumn, wine-tasting tours take place in cellars and caves. The Mullerthal region, known as the ‘Little Switzerland’, lies on the banks of the River Sûre. The earth is mostly made up of soft sandstone, so through the ages, many fascinating gorges, caves and formations have emerged.
