Chateaux Central

Besides the obvious WWII battles and history in the Ardennes region, this area is "castle-central". Or, as they are referred here...."chateax". We visited several picturesque small towns enroute back the D'dorf as well as a number of chateux.

Borschscheid - really only in ruins today; yes, we were once again faced with a torrential downpour just as we began to walk about.







Clervaux - prettiest little town we visited, with several intersting if no odd little museums. Biggest bust of them all - a museum devoted to tabletop replicas of Luxembourg chateaux. Boring! Yes, something akin to visiting the walnut bowl factory, the snake farm, or the giant ball of twine (she writes with a smile on her face).





Echternach...no real castles in sight, but a pretty little village. This town is supposedly noted for the "hordes of German tourists that come across the border for shopping", but exactly for what type of shopping was a mystery to us.
