Founded in 963, Luxembourg became a grand duchy in 1815 and an independent state under the Netherlands. It lost more than half of its territory to Belgium in 1839, but gained a larger measure of autonomy. Full independence was attained in 1867. Overrun by Germany in both World Wars, it ended its neutrality in 1948 when it entered into the Benelux Customs Union and when it joined NATO the following year. In 1957, Luxembourg became one of the six founding countries of the European Economic Community (later the European Union), and in 1999 it joined the euro currency area. To be updated

Luxembourg 40km Bike Ride Europe » Luxembourg » Vianden

Vianden Castle

Stopped on the way to Vianden for lunch at Spa - where the Belgian Grand Prix is being held in a couple of weeks. Stayed at the cutest hotel for the night on Saturday, then a lovely 40km bike ride along the Moselle River. Don't faint, it was very flat and my "townie" bike, with 2 gears handled it superbly. It was just gorgeous, with grapevines on every available piece of land, regardless of how steep or how close to the houses. Stopped off midwayish for a beer, ham & cheese roll under a tree beside the river, followed up with [View Full Entry]

Luxemburg Europe » Luxembourg

Adam and I left after a nice breakfast in Langen and drove our car to Frankfurt Main Station to pick up Robert, who drove with us to Saarbruecken. The ride was fun and we talked a lot. Then Adam and I drove to Luxemburg. Even though everyone said, it would be boring, we liked it a lot. We found a parking spot directly in the city center and walked around, enjoying the scenery. We loved the small streets with its German-French architecture... mor [View Full Entry]

Roadtrip in the Benelux Europe » Luxembourg » Vianden

Namur

Moien, The weekend had finally arrived for me to visit southern Belgium. I had seen much of Flanders so far, but very little of Wallonia. That would all change as my friend Louis, someone who Gabrielle had put me in contact with before I left Vancouver, said he would drive me around southern Belgium I woke up early on Saturday (so what else is new), packed my stuff and hopped on the train at Schuman. There were a large amount of south-eastern Europeans on the train, I did not recognize the language at all but I thought that it might have [View Full Entry]

The GR5 - Luxembourg Europe » Luxembourg » Luxembourg City

Our Valley

Hello, this entry covers the week and a half I spent in Luxembourg. If you think it is a tiny place that takes an hour to drive through, my advice is to try walking it! From Burg Reuland in Belgium, I walked along the valley through forest before climbing a hill to give me my first view of Luxembourg. From there, I decended to the pretty village of Ouren for lunch, the final stop before entering the Grand Duchy. There was only one shop in the whole village, selling a full range of fishing gear and then only a few basic [View Full Entry]

Kids in Vianden

We had a great time catching up with Stefaan and Carine in Brussels - its great to see them after such a long time and they made us so welcome. The next day, after a soggy start we set off for Luxembourg. The weather turned overnight and we had to take the tent down in the rain - not good! After a couple of hours travelling we were all quite hungry and we needed some diesel but because it was Sunday there wasnt much open. We had a couple of abortive stops at petrol stations and began to wonder if we [View Full Entry]

Who is that goodlooking devil?

July 14 - 18 Caught the train from Cologne to Luxembourg this afternoon. What a surprise this little country was. I know I would not have taken the trip here if Tammy had not gotten a job here and moved. Tammy is the friend of mine that I stayed with in Iceland. I figured I was in Cologne why not take the short jaunt over and see her. The city is quite picturesque. It’s also quite easy to see most of in any short time you are there. It is not that large of a country let alone a city. Although, [View Full Entry]

LUX1

Today we took a day trip to Luxembourg City...the train ride was about three hours and was, to me, almost the best part of the trip...the country is beautiful and gets progressively so the closer to the border and closer to the mountains you get...we spent a little time in the city exploring and had a great time...we are now on our last day in Bruxelles...most of the day is preparation for the rest of the trip which will be spent driving aimlessly through wine country near the Rhine...we have an idea of where our destinations are, but depending on how [View Full Entry]
