Diekirch, centre of the centre of Europe
Diekirch is a village that can be considered in the centre of Luxembourg (itself a central country within Europe). Here are many good campings along the river Sure, but also other accomodations are available. nice to know is the canoe-rental agencies along this river, that organise tours of various distances. One is brought back by bus, after a lovely trip on the Sure with - if one goes far enough, on the leftbank Germany and on the right Luxembourg. The Sure eventually mouths into the Moselle. Diekirch is the most central place in the grand-dukedom of Luxembourg to stay. Campings around the town variate from simple to luxereous and there are also some hotels and other ways of staying. However, Belgium and Luxemburg (as well as the Eifel-area in germany) are perfect for active holidays. Hiking, biking, canoeing and other sports find here the perfect environment. Even for rockclimbing and speleology these surroundings are holding all that you can wish for. Most campings at Diekirch rent canoes and start on a beautiful day to ride the waves of the river Sure Eastwards. Don't worry about having to go upstream again (it would be impossible) as there are several points along the river where you can leave the boat and hike, bike or go by bus, back to your tent. All the great sightseeings are in strikingdistance from Diekirch, as well as in Germany (for example Trier and the pictoresk Monschau), Belgium (Bastogne, many, many castles and spectacular caves) as Luxembourg itself (castles, pretty villages, the wonderful capitol and strange shaped rockformations).
