EuroParcs Kohnenhof
Nestled in the heart of the Our Valley in the Luxembourg Ardennes, EuroParcs Kohnenhof sits right on the meandering river Our (the natural border with Germany), giving you instant access to one of Europe’s loveliest hiking and nature-rich regions.
What I especially love is how it balances nature with comfort. You’ll find modern, well-appointed holiday homes and cabins tucked into the forest. On top of that, the location is perfect for day-hikes in places like Clervaux and the nearby Ardennes hills, or visiting the castles in the region.
Every chalet comes with its own kitchen but there’s also a small shop on the property, as well as a snack bar and a nice restaurant right next to it. Every day you can also order breakfast for the following morning.
THE BEST TIME TO VISIT LUXEMBOURG
The best time to visit Luxembourg really depends on what kind of adventure you’re after — but if you’re anything like me, you’ll want to see those forests and castles at their dreamiest! And then Autumn (September – October) might just be the most magical time to visit. The leaves turn shades of gold and crimson, the vineyards along the Moselle glow in the afternoon light, and the crisp air makes every hike feel extra refreshing.
If I had to choose? Autumn wins by a landslide — fewer crowds, incredible colours, and that perfect mix of adventure and tranquility.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN TRAVELING TO LUXEMBOURG
Language – Luxembourg might be small, but it has three official languages: Luxembourgish, French, and German. Don’t worry if you don’t speak any of them — English is widely spoken, especially in restaurants, hotels, and tourist areas. You’ll be greeted with a friendly “Moien!” here and there, but a simple “Bonjour” will always do the trick.
Currency – Luxembourg uses the Euro (€), just like most of its neighbours. You’ll find prices to be on the slightly higher side, but still more affordable than in nearby Belgium or France.
Credit Cards & ATMs – Credit and debit cards are accepted almost everywhere — from restaurants to parking machines — but it’s always smart to keep a bit of cash on hand for smaller cafés or rural areas. ATMs are easy to find in all towns and villages, and they usually offer instructions in English.
Safety – Luxembourg is one of the safest countries in Europe — it’s the kind of place where you can stroll through quiet villages or forest trails without worry. Just keep your usual travel sense and you’ll be perfectly fine.
Plugs – Luxembourg uses Type F plugs, the same as in most of mainland Europe (two round pins). The standard voltage is 230V, so if you’re coming from the UK or outside Europe, bring a universal adapter.
TIPS FOR YOUR FIRST VISIT TO LUXEMBOURG
Free public transport – You read that right — buses, trains, and trams are all free throughout the country! It’s the perfect excuse to hop between charming towns, forests, and viewpoints without worrying about tickets.
Don’t underestimate the distances – Yes, Luxembourg is tiny, but that doesn’t mean everything’s within walking distance. Public transport is amazing (and free for everyone!), but when visiting more remote castles or hiking trails, having a car gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace.
Take it slow – Luxembourg isn’t a place to rush through. Wander the villages, linger at viewpoints, and take the scenic route whenever possible — that’s where the real magic hides.
