Camping Liefrange

The excellent Upper-Sûre Natural Park is a truly fab place for hikers, with scenic surrounds and easy-to-follow trails through some of the prettiest parts. A fine way to find your way is to download the park’s app for route maps and a guiding hand from GPS (less time looking at a map = more time looking at the scenery = splendid). Similar facilities exist for bikers too, with trails including an almost-flat paved path along a disused railway line and more challenging hilly rides for those who like to give their legs a real workout. The highlight of any trip must of course be the lake – a huge 380-hectare whopper. Motorboats are banned here so it's a peaceful place to rent canoes, paddleboards or sailboats, or sink into a scuba diving day (from the watersports centre 15 minutes’ drive away). Liefrange’s also got a little beach for swims and sunbathing. There's plenty of pretty stuff in the local towns too: head to Esch-sur-Sûre (10 minutes) for riverside castle ruins or wander around the more intact château in Wiltz (15 minutes), which also has a tasty little museum dedicated to beer art.
