Discovering Luxembourg’s Natural Landscape

Luxembourg is awash with nature, with hectares of green landscape providing a perfect escape from the stresses of urban life. If you’re planning a trip to Luxembourg, whether you’re considering spring, summer, autumn, or winter, be sure to head out and enjoy a taste of the country’s rural charm.

Luxembourg’s several national parks serve as more than just venues for hiking, cycling, and swimming. Some of the country’s most charming settlements are nestled neatly among the trees. Visit a small village in Luxembourg’s wild heart and enjoy cosy restaurants, family-run shops and cafés, and plenty of attractions and activities, unlike anything you’ve seen before.

Haff Réimech Nature Reserve

At the bottom of the slopes between Schengen and Remich, the Haff Réimech nature reserve boasts an impressive diversity of birds, wildlife, and plants. Because of the reserve’s unique offering, the award-winning Biodiversum Visitor Centre sits on an artificial island at its edge.
The Biodiversum centre is integrated into the environment beautifully, with an exhibition and events space and a museum for visitors to explore. Enhance your time at the Haff Réimech reserve by paying a visit to the Biodiversum and learning a little about Luxembourg’s natural landscape.

Strombierg Conservation Area

The route is well signposted, starting under the bridge at Schengen, and provides travellers with a good opportunity to see protected plant species and local wildlife.
