    Hiking

    Wedged between mountains and surrounded by the Sûre, this small place looks a little out of date. Old castle ruins tower into the sky on almost vertically sloping rocks above the town. Well worth seeing and definitely worth a visit.

    Hiking

    Esch-sur-Sûre (in Luxembourgish: Esch-Sauer or Esch am Lach and in German: Esch-Sauer), is a Luxembourg municipality located in the canton of Wiltz, as well as a locality belonging to it.

    The locality is mainly known for its old medieval city articulated around the castle, located on a rocky outcrop in a bend of the Sûre. An artificial lake is located nearby.

    The castle of Esch-sur-Sûre is a fortified castle located in the Luxembourg village of Esch-sur-Sûre.

    The first written testimony of the existence of Esch-sur-Sûre can be found in the "Liber aureus Epternacensis". In this book from Echternach Abbey, it is noted that a certain Nebelungus donated his estates with serfs of "Hesc" to the abbey. This act dates back to year 3 of Charlemagne's reign, that is, between October 9, 773 and October 9, 774.
