A day in Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland: Echternach and its basilica, the Mullerthal rocks and Beaufort Castle.
On the banks of the Sûre, Echternach is Luxembourg’s oldest town, which grew up around the abbey founded by Saint Willibrord at the end of the 7th century. Its basilica holds the saint’s tomb, honoured every Whit Tuesday by the hopping procession, listed by UNESCO as intangible heritage. All around, the Mullerthal region, known as Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland, reveals forests and sandstone rocks shaped by erosion, which the coach explores along pretty roads. In Beaufort, the ruins of a medieval castle stand next to a Renaissance château. The pace stays relaxed, with a reserved lunch and free time on the market square.
