The abbey in the center of Echternach is a must-see during a visit of this Email city. Its an old catholic church with an impressiv ceiling and lange colourful windows.

Echternach is one of if not the oldest town in Luxembourg on the border with Germany. The Basilica is a must visit location and gives a complete description of the history of the building and of course St. Willibrord who was born in Northumberland England in the 7th century and after spending time in Ireland as a young man ordained in to the Catholic church by monks there n=he found his way to Luxembourg where he instigated the construction of the Basilica. In the visitor centre in the Basilica there is a 10 minute video in English, Dutch, French and German relating briefly the whole history. Including, if you happen to be here at Pentecoste/Whitsun the renowned dancing procession takes place with visitors from all over the world. Though to be fair what ever time of the year you are here both the Basilica, the adjoining Abbey and the lovely old town are well worth a visit.

Due to the isolated location this is an undamaged beautiful preserved castle also on the inside. Due to it s location you need to park (with payment) then either take a medium difficult hike or the bus (payment) to the entrance. On the premises the obligate restaurant and shop. The tour was taken in English but the German guide found the right pronunciation and translation difficult. Inside are gorgeously preserved rooms with original furnature and items, unique! I would not recommend it for people who experience difficulties in walking due to many narrow steps and uneven floors. Despite Corona measures worldwide the group was rather large and rooms small so no way to keep your distance. Organisation wise there is definitely room for improvement.

Another town right bang on border with Germany. Used as a base for trekking Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland but also worth spending a couple of hours wandering around. Must do: drive between Vianden to Echternach by following the roads along the river. The German stretch is particularly stunning.
