Luxembourg Region What to Expect

This small picturesque place lies a couple of kilometers outside of Arlen (capital of the Belgian province Luxemburg). En route for the Luxemburgian village of Eischen, you pass by a little chapel, dating back to the 19th century. It is worth pulling over the car to visit this little chapel, because that's only a small part of what you get to see. Next to the chapel is a staircase, leading down to an archaeological excavation of a medieval monastery.
The monastery was founded in about the 13th century by Countess Ermesinde, and was burned down during the French Revolution in the 18th Century.
There are, hower, indications for earlier occupation of this place, such as graves dating to the 10th century AD. Even than, it probably had a religious meaning, and the monastery may be a replacement of an even older structure.
When you get down to the archaeological site, you will see there's a small fountain. This fountain is still delivering water from the same source as more than 700 years ago. It is said that Saint Bernard visited this site, hence the source is said to be holy.

Visit the castle of Godfried de Bouillon!

Nice quiet village with young fa,ilies and lots of nationalities. Les Fossés is part of Léglise in Belgium and depends on the district of Neufchateau. On total about 2 000 citizen. Nice place to walk and to live. Languages: French,Dutch and luxemburgish (is only at 57 KM from Luxembourg)

When in Durbuy, the best way to sleep is out in a tent under the stars (just keep your fingers crossed that you don't experience the typical Belgian weather). For a daytime activity: A leisurely day of kayaking is a fantastic way to take in the incredible scenery in the Ardennes.

De bakker die regelmatig langskomt in het lokale café heeft fantastisch brood en de eigenares van de camping is altijd bereid haar ijskast te delen :-)
