October 31, 2017

Eastern Luxembourg offers outstanding natural wealth.

In the north, the Mullerthal region and its "Little Switzerland of Luxembourg" welcome thousands of tourists, vacationers, and hikers every year. Its vast forests, hilly terrain, and rocky formations conceal numerous springs and magnificent waterfalls. Everything in its outstanding natural environment gives the region a privileged reputation in the Grand Duchy. More information.

Further south, the Moselle region is also very popular with visitors. There are many wine and history enthusiasts, hikers, cyclists, boaters, and more each year. In fact, Luxembourg's Moselle region offers a multitude of activities you can discover on the site visitmoselle.lu .

As a result, its real estate prices are not the cheapest in Luxembourg.

The Grand Duchy's real estate market is very tight. The demand is greater than the supply, which raises rates all over the country. In the east, the Moselle and Mullerthal regions are not exempt, but this doesn't prevent construction projects from flourishing here and there.
