DAY 1
You will arrive at you hotel (+/- 2 p.m.) and you will visit the Moselle metropolis of Grevenmacher. Here we recommend a visit of the Kulturhuef, the Luxembourg printing and playing-card museum. It shows two permanent exhibitions, one about playing-cards from all over the world, including the history of the former playing-card producer Dieudonné, and the other about an exhibition “Gutenberg Revisited”, which was revised in 2018. This exhibition shows the history of book printing and includes many new objects.
Return to your hotel.
day 2
After breakfast at you hotel, immerse yourself in the life of a winegrowing family in the 18th and 19th centuries and visit the museum and winebar “A Possen” in Bech-Kleinmacher. Awaiting you on 1200 m² is a complete winegrower’s house, wine production and workshops for shoemaking, a cooperage and weaving mill, as well as a varied collection of antique dolls, teddy bears, a model railway and all kinds of toys from earlier times.
After your visit to the museum, an excellent drop of Luxembourg wine and cuisine await you in the adjacent Wäistuff “A Possen”!
All on board!
What could be more relaxing after lunch than a cruise on the Moselle? On deck in the sunshine, enjoying an excellent local wine, you glide past the endless vineyards and discover the beautiful Moselle valley from a different angle. Nearly every hour the boats from the company Navitours leave from Remich to Schengen and back. The trip takes about an hour.
You can also take the audio tour from Lauschtour “Miseler Schiffstour”, telling you interesting stories and anecdotes from both banks.
In Schengen you have the opportunity to get off the boat and enjoy a guided tour of the visitor center “Centre Européen”, where you will learn about all the historical events of the Schengen Agreement.
Afterwards, we recommend a short bike tour (RentaBike Schengen bike rental) from Schengen to Remerschen where you can visit the Valentiny Foundation. This is an exhibition of around 3260 drawings, drafts, sculptures and prototypes by the famous Luxembourg star architect François Valentiny, partly created together with his Viennese collaborator Hubert Hermann.
Depending on your mood, you can either cycle on to Remich or take a walk and leave your bike at the youth hostel in Remerschen across the road.
Return to your hotel.
DAY 3
Breakfast at your hotel.
Today you will be taken to the beautiful foreland, dominated by orchards and fields. In Mondorf-les-Bains, the only spa town in Luxembourg, you will find Luxembourg’s unique Aviation Museum in the beautiful 45-hectare thermal park. It houses airplane parts, prototypes and accessories from the national aviation pioneer era. In addition, an exhibition of 15 chronologically arranged photographs gives an insight into the history of aviation in Luxembourg from 1910 to the present day.
The Romans in Dalheim
Download the free “Lauschtour-APP” and experience in an interactive and participative way the city (in Latin vicus) Ricciacum, today known as Dalheim, founded under Emperor Augustus. As an important stop on the Via Agrippa, the great Roman road from the Mediterranean to the Rein, the Roman influence and its economic, cultural and religious influence of that time has left many traces here. The results can still be admired today throughout the village: from the Gallo-Roman theatre to the thermal baths and the residential area, the vicus.
Return to your hotel.
DAY 4
Last hike through the vineyards
Breakfast at you hotel.
Your holiday at the Moselle is unfortunately coming to an end, but an easy walk to the holy statue of Donatus in Wintringen, protecting the wines from storm and hail, should definitely not be missed. You won’t forget this wonderful view into the Moselle valley anytime soon!
Check-out and gift shopping.
Now, you still haven’t bought any gifts? No worries, in one of the three regional shops in either Schengen, Remich or Grevenmacher you will find many local products to take with you and enjoy back home.
