Camping Val d'Or

There's some spectacular walking and cycling to be had nearby and around the Luxembourg Ardennes, along with mountain biking around 16 marked trails, canoeing on the Clerve and Sûre rivers, and fishing in the Upper Sûre Lake, half an hour's drive away. Within 10 minutes' drive, have a heritage day out at the tourist centre and living museum of Robbesscheier, a two and a half-hectare space with activities for kids from toddlers to teens. The centre also includes a theme park with a zoo and has regular events including animal feeding, donkey rides and interactive workshops. More history is at Clervaux (10 minutes), home of a handsome 18th-century cathedral and of Clervaux Castle, dating back to the 12th century. This latter has been rebuilt after being destroyed during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II; if you prefer your history a little more modern, a museum on the 1944 to 45 battle and the Second World War itself is in town. You can get to Luxembourg City easily enough from here too, via a journey of about 90 minutes from the station a kilometre and a half away.
