Over 42 km, the Moselle winds its way between the tri-border area near Schengen in the south and Wasserbillig in the north, passing picturesque wine villages. No steep slopes, no wine villages overrun by mass tourism, but gently sloping vineyards and quiet small wine villages. The Moselle meanders through the valley in loops, creating an almost Mediterranean relaxed atmosphere. The Luxembourgers affectionately call the region “Miselerland”. A region that has much more to offer in all seasons than just first-class wine.
Fine Wine and Enjoyment
Who says a good glass of wine or Crémant can’t be enjoyed in the colder months? And best accompanied by a full stomach. Winter especially calls for enjoyable recipes that warm the heart and body. The Luxembourger Moselle has plenty to offer in both solid and liquid enjoyment. For the second time, on 8th & 9th February 2020, the Wine Cheese Enjoy event will take place. At this gourmet event, Moselle winemakers and restaurateurs open their doors to showcase their best wines and Crémants with fondue, raclette, cheese platters, or other cheese specialties.
By Pentecost weekend, when winter is long forgotten, the Wine Taste Enjoy festival, the largest wine festival on the Luxembourg Moselle, beckons. On 31st May & 1st June 2020, Luxembourg winemakers open their wine cellars for tasting their wines and Crémants in a cozy atmosphere. Guided hikes, tours, carriage rides, and art exhibitions are also on the agenda. To ensure nothing hinders the enjoyment, a free bus shuttle transports visitors from winery to winery. Of course, you can also explore the offerings of Moselle winemakers and restaurateurs on your own — just be prepared to spend a lot of time to discover everything. Because typical dishes like pike in Riesling sauce, fish fry, and crayfish deserve to be savoured leisurely.
Miselerland — Hiker’s Paradise
Hiking enthusiasts will be fully satisfied in Miselerland. The splendid landscape of the Moselle and its hinterland invites exploration on foot. The geography of Miselerland, a landscape full of hills and valleys shaped by the edges of sandstone cliffs, offers surprising and varied paths and views. Not only the Moselle valley and its quaint and historically rich wine villages, but also the hinterland with its orchards and forests, provide endless opportunities for experienced hikers and lovers of relaxed walks to discover nature with all their senses. No less than 28 circular hiking trails (known as Auto-Pédestres) and themed hiking trails in the Moselle region provide the perfect setting for a Sunday family hike. For the active pleasure hiker at the Luxembourg Moselle, a total of three certified premium trails, known as dream loops, offer hiking at the highest level, where one literally drifts into dreams! These quality trails mostly run on narrow, close-to-nature paths, past idyllic watercourses, old vineyard steps, and imposing rock formations towards breathtaking viewpoints. Hiking guides and route descriptions can be found on geoportail.lu and visitmoselle.lu.
