will allow you to find this data not just for the country but also for many citites/towns within it.
There will, however, be little difference between the three countries.
As a rough guide, you can expect the sun to rise around 8am and to set around 7pm whilst you are visiting. There will be some light a little before and after, of course.

In Echternach is an impressive church, its patron is St. Willibrord. We have visited this church years ago and since we will be staying in Echternach this year, I will make sure we go there again. I want to see the crypt of St. Willibrord and the beautiful interior of the church.
This benedictine monastery was founded by Saint Willibrord, to which we own the founding of the city, in the 7th century. Although a big fire caused severe damage to the building, the new construction was finished in 1031. Its main feature is the alteration of pillars and columns, a style copied later on in the Rhineland. Pillaged by French revolutionary troops in 1794, the church became a china factory. Its reconstruction in neo-gothic et neo-roman style was suggested near the end of the 19th century. The building was again destroyed by bombs during World War II before being rebuilt from 1948 to 1953. The basilica draws thousands of people every Whit sunday when a dancing procession is held and houses the crypt in which Willibrord is buried. The latter goes back to Carolingian times.
Given the weather is good, there is a recreational centre with lake around 50 hectares. Also there are promenades in the beautiful muellerthal region that can cover a total of 70 kms!!
Also the town is a perfect base to discover all the villages in the region either by car (as we lazy didi), or by bicycle or for the nature lovers on foot.
