The northern part of the Grand Duchy is dominated by vast forests and deep valleys. The east of the country is a wine- producing region, where vineyards, which have been cultivated for thousands of years, flank the Moselle river forming the border with Germany. In the centre of the country there are striking rock formations, especially in the heart of a region called Mullerthal, Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland. Lastly, even in the south, the industrial basin and most densely populated area of Luxembourg, nature is reclaim- ing land in the midst of former opencast mines.

Through its demeanour, the grand-ducal Grand Duchy family succeeded in transmitting a feeling of unity to the Luxembourg of Luxembourg people which is still one of the key factors of the country’s stability today.

Shapes of Landscape The Low Countries. Jaargang 7 13 Landscape and Space in the Low Countries Reflecting the Differences between North and South It is no coincidence that the first part of Fernand Braudel's The Mediterranean (La méditerranée, 1966) is entitled ‘The Role of the Environment’. In this work he describes the physical geography of the area: geological development, coastlines, mountains and flatlands, soil and basins. But he pays much more attention to physical geography and how people deal with their physical environment; how and why they started to engage in fishing and agriculture in a particular place; how, why and where they drew political and cultural frontiers across the landscape and at the same time organised cross-border transport; where and why they built towns and cities and how they catered for the surrounding countryside. In short: how a physical landscape became a cultural landscape. For Braudel and many other historians, sociologists and philosophers, the cultural landscape is the point where mankind and the natural elements come together; the scene of the battle between man's urge to civilise and nature's unruliness. A landscape therefore reveals history as well as geography. Landscape lends history The ‘Afsluitdijk’. This dike turned the Zuiderzee into the IJsselmeer: from sea into lake. a spatial dimension because it bears the traces and impressions of the past, and those traces and impressions of a past civilisation are precisely what give the landscape a historical dimension.
