Travel in Luxembourg?

  • The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in Europe. It has an area of 2,586 km2, making it about the same size as the province of Drenthe. The country consists of two regions. The northern part is called Ösling and belongs to the Ardennes. It is a forested plateau landscape with deeply carved river valleys and rocky soil. The central and southern part of the country is called Gutland or Bon Pays which means “good land.” This area has an undulating landscape and the soil is loam and marl, excellent for agriculture.

      • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America.

      • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
      • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
