Der Bevölkerungsanteil, der die luxemburgische Sprache spricht, ist laut Statec auf unter 50 Prozent gesunken.

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.

(Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

Danke!

Wenzel circular walk Walk in the footsteps of Wenceslas and discover the former fortress city’s most beautiful attractions!

For Luxembourg City, this is a great walk that takes you to most of the highlights www.visitluxembourg.com/tour/wenzel-...

The Mullerthal Region Discover the Mullerthal Region - Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland, where stunning rock formations, lush forests, and picturesque trails create a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

If you're coming by car from Liège, definitely take the scenic route through the Ardennes. You could stop at Clervaux and Vianden (most beautiful castle in the country), then head towards Echternach and drive through the Mullerthal www.mullerthal.lu on the way to the city.

If you want to try something typically Luxembourgish, get some vegetarian Kniddelen (flour dumplings) at umdierfgen.lu and Gromperekichelcher (potato pancakes) at lequaisteffen.lu or maybe www.brasserie-du-cercle.lu

Château Bourglinster - An Exceptional Gastronomic Venue The Distillerie was voted the best vegetarian restaurant in the world in 2020 and 2021. Discover the unparalleled charm of a 12th-century castle and experience something extraordinary!

Literally the best veggie restaurant in the world! www.bourglinster.lu/en/#restaura... Super expensive because they have a Michelin star and they move in January so probably not an option. The brasserie is more affordable, the food is amazing and it's inside a castle, totally worth it!

L'ALTI organisera sa 6e Journée luxembourgeoise de la traduction et de l'interprétation le 7 décembre. Au programme : technologies de la traduction, interprétation de conférence, langue luxembourgeoise et plus. Programme et inscription www.traducteurs-interpretes.lu/journee-trad...
