Luxembourg: Days Five and Six

Within thirty-five miles of Vianden are two entirely different regions of Luxembourg, so you can either stay in Vianden and explore during the day or pack up and move to a new town. In either case, you’ll spend days five and six and the regions of Mullerthal and Moselle Valley, respectively.

Your best chance for lodging in Mullerthal (also known as Little Switzerland) is Echternach, a small town fifteen miles southeast of Vianden. If you’ve got camping gear with you, camp outside the city, then pack a picnic lunch, and spend the day exploring the countryside on foot. You can climb the unique rock formations, or simply admire them from the ground. On the other hand, if you prefer to stay in civilization, Echternach has an impressive basilica and a Museum of Prehistory.

We suggest spending day five outdoors, however, because on day six you’ll be underground. Drive twenty miles south to Remich, where you can find a place to stay and visit the St. Martin Wine Cellars. Moselle Valley is known for its exceptional white wines, and several wine cellars are open for tours during the summer and parts of the spring and fall. St. Martin’s is just an easy option because Remich is not too difficult to find.
