We left Berdorf today and started to move back north. After paying the bill, emptying the bins, toilet and waste tank and topping up the fresh water, we set off to Beaufort. Beaufort Castle was built in four phases between 1015 and 1650 and, therefore, has Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance features. Castles in Luxembourg have... Continue Reading →
I love photographing waterfalls so I’ve been wanting to visit Schéissendëmpel since we arrived in the Müllerthal region. These falls on the Black Ernz river are really pretty, surrounded by mossy green rocks, with an attractive stone bridge above. I found a hike that went past the falls and we took the bus to Consdorf,... Continue Reading →
We’ve had a very long hike today (19 kilometres or 12 miles in old money) and, although my little legs are tired, it’s been wonderful… more beautiful views, woodland, caves and clefts. In hindsight, we should have done the walk the other way round because we ended up visiting most of the more popular sites... Continue Reading →
We chose to do a bike tour today, downloading a 50 kilometre route from the website for the Müllerthal region, which really is excellent, with lots of suggestions for things to do. We started on top of a relatively high plateau at Berdorf, which meant we were going to finish with a big climb! The... Continue Reading →
We’ve had a fabulous walk from the campsite today, exploring a trail leading through and around amazing rock formations in beautiful woods. It was only meant to be 4 kilometres long but ended being 6 or 7 with all the exploring we did, then 9 with a detour for something to eat in Berdorf. As... Continue Reading →
Today we’ve left Camping Kockelscheuer, which was perfect to visit Luxembourg City. We've moved to Camping Martbusch in Berdorf, where we plan to do lots of hiking and cycling. The country is so small, it doesn't take long to travel anywhere! After the obligatory croissants for breakfast, we packed up and hit the road via... Continue Reading →
I think I might have a new favourite city. Luxembourg City is beautiful… so much to see and so many green spaces. Mind you we have been lucky to see it in glorious sunshine ☀️ Instead of writing about what we’ve seen, I’ve decided to include a larger than usual gallery of labelled images of... Continue Reading →
After a peaceful night... well... as peaceful as it gets when John has a bad dream and hits out at me!... we woke to a chilly, frosty morning. The sunshine soon melted it though and we've had a lovely 13 kilometre hike with some amazing views. The first main view point was from a tower... Continue Reading →
We were woken early by the traffic in Dinant, a small price to pay for a free overnight parking spot. Unfortunately this meant we couldn’t be bothered to wait around for the citadel to open. Maybe we'll go on our way home. We set of for Walzin Castle instead, and enjoyed a pleasant riverside walk... Continue Reading →
We’ve had an interesting day today, visiting Wallonia and finding out a little about Belgium’s industrial heritage. First we went to The Grand Hornu, a beautiful architectural complex dating from the Industrial Revolution. The Grand Hornu is a former colliery, and a new town project that was built to include the miners’ residential district, as... Continue Reading →
