Echternach is situated on the border of Germany and is a medieval town centering around the most beautiful Basilica. It has winding cobblestoned streets, pedestrian only areas, art galleries and of course cafes to sit and enjoy the area.
Situated only 34 kms from Luxembourg city in Luxembourg’s little Switzerland, it is an ideal place to spend at least half a day away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Winding along the edge of town there is picturesque Sauer River which has walking/bike path that takes you near some lovely parkland, a mini golf course and the Echternach Basilica.
There is a link for more information.
Echternach is also home to a Dancing Procession which is quite unique

Never been to Luxembourg, It’s one the few countries in Europe I still have to go…They are all trilingual, aren’t they?
Yes French, German and Luxemburghish although many people here also speak English. It is definitely worth the visit.
You guys are >>really<< getting around. I've only been through Luxembourg once and that was very quickly. I need to make the time to pass through again.
Definitely has a lot to offer, we will be adding more of the places we have visited in the next week or so.
Luxembourg is not on the travel radar of most Americans, but it definitely looks like it should be.
It should be there is so much to see and as it is a small country you can base yourself in one spot and just travel on day trips
