Canton Echternach

Built around the medieval town of Echternach and the Sûre valley, Canton Echternach grew into Luxembourg’s easternmost canton. The Sûre, called the Sauer in German, follows much of the border with Germany, while the wooded slopes and sandstone ravines of the Mullerthal shape the interior. Echternach is home to the Abbey of St Willibrord, linked to the Anglo-Saxon missionary who founded a monastery here in 698; its annual Dancing Procession is recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. Berdorf and Beaufort stand among the forests and distinctive rock formations of this corner of Luxembourg.
