Devil's Gorge

With its bizarre landscape, steep rock faces, narrow gorges and cracks, Devil's Gorge is a popular attraction.

More
Information

Narrow gorges and crevasses, overgrown with moss and lichen, huge rock towers, mighty boulders with strange formations - a wild and primitive landscape characterizes the Ferschweiler Plateau and its surroundings.

Towards the end of the last Ice Age, around 12,000 years ago, alternating periods of freezing and thawing resulted in massive rockfalls on the edge of the plateau. At that time, a large block of sandstone broke away from the wall of the plateau, opening a crevasse 28 meters deep, which fascinates all who have walked it: the Devil's Gorge.

Luxembourg City

Luxembourg City is the capital of Luxembourg. It offers many possibilities for shopping, cultural events, as well as incredible landscapes.

More
Information

Luxembourg's origins are modest but promising. Count Siegfried, eldest son of a count of the Ardennes and without any property worthy of the name, received in 963 from the abbey of Saint-Maximin in Trier a castellum on a rocky outcrop surrounded by forests and pastures in exchange for land.

Not far from the old Roman road between Reims and Trier and surrounded by fertile land, the small castle quickly flourished and developed to become a true economic, political and religious center.

From the 12th century, Luxembourg became a real city. It becomes an economic, political and religious center of the region with ambitions which go far beyond the surrounding hills and valleys.

Indeed, the counts of Luxembourg succeeded in rapidly expanding their possessions through marriages, land purchases, feudal relations and wars. They manage to subdue their rivals, even if they sometimes suffer setbacks, as in the Battle of Worringen (1288), where Count Heinrich VI. and three of his brothers are fatally injured.

At the end of the 13th century, the county of Luxembourg was subject to a vast territory located between the Meuse and the Moselle. A peculiarity is that it stretched on both sides of the linguistic border, so that one part was German-speaking and the other French-speaking.

Several legends surround the founding of the city. The best known of these is that of the mermaid Mélusine, a mythical figure who appears in several regions of Europe.
