21 NATURE

22 The Éislek is characterized by its hilly landscapes and its extensive deciduous forests. The main hills are crossed by picturesque valleys, such as the valleys of the Blees, Clerve, Our, Sûre and Wiltz. The rocks are mainly composed of shale. For over 300 years, the Louhecken (oak-coppice) have been the typical slope forest of the region. At the beginning of the 18th century, these were planted and afterwards supplied the numerous tanneries along the riverbanks in the north of the country, especially on the Clerve and the Wiltz. The region’s two nature parks, namely the Nature Park of the Upper Sûre and the Nature Park Our, actively contribute to the preservation of the natural and cultural heritage as well as to the support of a wide range of regional initiatives.

VIEW OVER THE UPPER SÛRE LAKE

23 NATURE PARK OUR The Nature Park Our is located in the northern border triangle of Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg. Covering an area of 420 m2, 8 municipalities have joined forces to balance nature conservation and the region’s economic development. The border region along the river Our is an ideal travel and excursion destination for hikers as well as for nature and culture lovers. Within a limited territory, the Nature Park offers an impressive variety of landscapes. The landscape is characterized by the wide plateau and the narrow, romantic rock valleys that the rivers Our and Clerve with their tributaries have graved into the slate.
