Local products of the Moselle region
Regional products
For the past 2000 years wine has been and still is the predominant feature of the cultural landscape of the Moselle: but Luxembourg's Moselle offers so much more delights. And Luxembourgish people like to do things right! This is true for a large variety of other regional products. All the juices, jams, honeys, baked goods, sausages or snails are produced according to the highest quality standards.
Large vicus on the Roman road

Remains of a Gallo-Roman funeral enclosure
Remains of a Gallo-Roman funeral enclosure in the forest "Weiler" between Mertert and Lellig. (rue de Mompach, intersection to the left before the "Iewescht Strooss")
The "Koeppchen" is probably the best known vineyard in the region. It is dominated by the chapel built in 1925 in honor of Saint Donatus, patron saint of the vineyards of Wormeldange and weather saint against lightning, thunder, hailstone, storm and fire.
From this vantage point you have an incomparable view over the whole village. With an inclination of more than 45 degrees, a shell limestone soil and partly perfect south-west orientation, the vines get a lot of sunshine here, ideal conditions for the Riesling.
Every year on the 1st Sunday in July, a procession takes place to the Koeppchen.
We leave the village eastwards and go towards the Syre. We follow the national footpath "Sentier de la Moselle" (sign: yellow rectangle) along the river and climb up the wooded slope shortly before Fielsmillen. We go through the Schlammbaach valley, over the Foolgruet and the motorway and arrive in Mertert. We cross the rail tracks, wander through the park and along the Syre as far as the Moselle bank. We follow the waterside promenade and go underneath an underpass in order to arrive at the station.

Excursion ½ day
The Luxembourgish Moselle remembers
A half-day trip to the Moselle region will reveal several unexpected aspects of the Grand Duchy’s history. National borders and migration are major contemporary themes, and Luxembourg has a proud history promoting openness. This has long been a country in which people have escaped political oppression. Luxembourg also played an important role in the creation of a borderless Europe. This just one example of how it contributed to the rebuilding of Europe after World War II. Another is the fact that the Nuremberg trials which brought Nazi war criminals to justice were prepared in Mondorf-les-Bains.
This itinerary takes you to the spa town of Mondorf-les-Bains, which has an extraordinary and largely unknown history. The trip also includes Schengen, a village in the wine region which has come to represent freedom of movement for 400 million people in 26 European countries. Then there is Remich and Grevenmacher, two charming towns surrounded by vineyards. Yet this charming modern reality is set against a dark history of Jewish residents deported and killed by the occupying Nazis.

The little wine village
Although Ahn marks one of the geographically smallest villages in the region, relatively most private wineries are located here. The charming cellars and cosy wine taverns of several private winegrowers can be found here in a very small area. Ahn is an authentic winegrowing village, famous for its gastronomic specialities, with idyllic alleys, beautiful old houses and vineyard covered hills.
For all nature and vineyard lovers the dream loop "Wine & Culture Path Palmberg Ahn" should not be missed. This enchanting trail leads through the middle of the vineyards, between the vines, along the steep shell limestone cliffs with wonderful views over the Moselle valley. After traversing varied forests, the walk continues into a protected area with old box trees and orchid meadows, followed by the valley of the “Donverbach” with waterfalls and a canyon forest.

Enjoy the wonders of nature with a canoe trip in the Moselle valley
We ask that you behave considerately both inside and outside the canoe to help to protect the natural environment and habitat of the Mosel and Sauer.
Although the Moselle is a developed waterway, it is nevertheless home to a wide range of plants and animals. The flow rate of the river is slower above the barrages than in the lower waters. Nature has adapted to this and different types of plants and animals are therefore to be found there. Many varieties of fish, birds and insects find ideal breeding and spawning areas around the banks and mouths of the streams particularly in the restoration areas and backwaters. Reed buntings and marsh warblers can also be heard and pied wagtails (7) can be seen hopping from stone to stone in these areas. The restoration areas and backwaters are out of bounds for canoeists! Access to these areas is prohibited in order to protect the flora and fauna. A number of rare species of plants and animals have made their home on the glistening rocky banks of the Mosel terraces. Even certain Mediterranean species have become resident here.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
For canoe-owner only. No possibility to rent canoes at the moment.

Enjoy the wonders of nature with a canoe trip in the Sauer valley
We ask that you behave considerately both inside and outside the canoe to help to protect the natural environment and habitat of the Mosel and Sauer.
A large section of the Sauer between Born and Wasserbillig has quite justifiably been declared part of Natura 2000. Its banks are edged with tall herbaceous vegetation which constitutes an important part of the typical habitat found in wetlands. Ground-covering populations which offer a different blaze of colour all year round are found particularly on the islands. Due to their structure they create a perfect habitat for the feeding and propagation of water organisms.
Colourful butterflies associated with damp areas such as the large copper (1) and dragonflies (2) can be seen on the riverbanks.
Breeding areas and sources of food for aquatic birds like dippers and kingfishers are often found where lowland forest meadows join the Sauer. Little (3) and great crested grebe (4) tend to build their nests on plants in shallow water at the water’s edge.
Grey heron (6) can be seen in the trees on the riverbank from where they can spy on their prey. They can also occasionally be spotted in the low meadows in search of food.
Bullhead spawning pits can be found on the gritty subsoil in fast-flowing sections of the river. Insect larvae on which fish feed are also to be found in the substrate. The brook lamprey buries itself in the river bottom with only its mouth emerging to filter food out of the water.
