Bourscheid
Bourscheid is a small, charming town in Luxembourg that sits on a promontory above the Sûre River. What makes this place special is its impressive medieval castle which dates back to the year 1000. The castle stands proudly at 150 meters above the river, offering spectacular views of the surrounding Ardennes mountains and forests.
The area around Bourscheid is a paradise for hikers with numerous well-marked trails that take you through beautiful landscapes. The town itself is quiet and peaceful, giving visitors a real taste of rural Luxembourg away from the more touristy spots.
Bourscheid has a rich history, with archaeological findings suggesting that the area was inhabited as far back as the Roman era. The castle has witnessed centuries of Luxembourg's complex history, changing hands between various noble families before eventually becoming a national monument.
During summer months, the castle hosts medieval festivals where visitors can experience what life was like during the Middle Ages. The local cuisine is worth trying too - think hearty Luxembourgish dishes that reflect the country's position between France and Germany, with influences from both culinary traditions.
