Transportation  

getting to Diekirch

getting to Diekirch, Diekirch

 brendareed Says:  We drove to Diekirch and easily found free parking on the road. The town also has a train station, making a visit by train very easy as well. The smallness of the town means that you can walk to just about anywhere from your parking spot or the train station without any... 

Diekirch by train from Ettelbruck

Diekirch by train from Ettelbruck, Diekirch

 Lunaina Says:  Between the two 'bigger' towns of Luxembourg, Diekirch and Ettelbruck runs a small train, a nice way to get around these little towns. It is best to park in Diekirch, because Ettelbruck has parking space, but you can only park at those places for two hours and Diekirch has a...

Go to the goats!

The shops round the market square are nice for a strawl. Kids love the goats statue in one of the streets and we never succeeded in passing it swiftly.

What to buy: If you want to go to the larger shops, like Blokker (household goods), Aldi (supermarket) or the MacDonalds, you have to take the direction of Ettelbruck. After you have passed the Diekich beer brewery at the right, you see the shops real soon.

Pechert /policemen

Be aware when coming to Diekirch. We have some parkinghouses, but most of the parkings are taken by residents. So some parking problems will appear, and we have one "Pechert" (person who controls if your pakingticket is OK), who is a real maniac...so pay your ticket or get a real high price to pay at the police :(

There are no bigger problems in Diekirch. You are very sure even at night. But sometimes in the cafés they trap the tourists by asking higher prices, but if you can have a pricetable so ask for it and you'll get the right price to pay.

Luggage and bags: Bring a lot of good humor along!

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Even in Summer you risk to have some cold nights and some rain. So don't forget the right clothes for these days!

Photo Equipment: You have no further problems for photographs for there are at least 3 special shops inside the citycenter

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: In Diekirch you have 3 camping grounds and around Diekirch there are so plenty that it is difficult to enumerate them all here.

If you're interested you can go and see the military base on the top of the Herrenberg. It's the place where the Luxemburgish Army ( a very small one: with ca 600 soldiers, but very engaged in the NATO) has its mayor base. You cannot visit the base itself but once up to the hill you have a superb view on the whole Sûrevalley!
