The history of the Natur- & Geopark Mëllerdall begins around 245 million years ago, in a sea. Countless particles of sand and others were deposited and solidified into rock. The sea disappeared, and rivers shaped the impressive rocky landscape of the Natur- & Geopark Mëllerdall we see today. Located on this outstanding geological heritage, a diverse and valuable natural and cultural heritage came into being. The task of the Natur- & Geopark Mëllerdall is to preserve this heritage and to develop our region sustainably. At all times, the central focus of our actions is the people. We want to achieve these aims by concentrating our work on three areas: Discover the region | Support services | Projects Under the heading of “Discover the region”, we provide information about our region, we raise awareness of our heritage and of sustainable development, and we offer a wide range of activities. Our staff are available for residents, businesses and communities of the Natur- & Geopark Mëllerdall to provide various free support services. Practical initiatives are being implemented through various projects: for instance, an energy cooperative has been set up, enabling the local population to collaborate in the sustainable development of the region, and every year several hundred fruit trees are planted in order to preserve our meadow orchards. The numerous mills along its rivers and streams gave its name to the Natur- & Geopark Mëllerdall (“Valley of the millers”). Imposing rocks, deep valleys and extensive plateaus: the Luxembourg sandstone characterizes the region and has made it known beyond its borders. Here in the east of the Grand Duchy, on the border with Germany, 11 municipalities with a total area of ​​256 km2 and around 25,800 inhabitants joined to form a Nature and Geopark. The Natur- & Geopark Mëllerdall – a special purpose association of member municipalities and the state The Natur- & Geopark Mëllerdall is a special purpose association (“syndicat mixte” / mixed administration union) of the municipalities and the state. The list of members and the composition of the board (committee) can be found here. It was established by the Grand Ducal Regulation of March 17th, 2016. The Grand Ducal Decree of June 10th, 2016 governs the management of the Nature & Geopark for a term of 10 years. What is a Nature & Geopark? Nature and Geoparks support the sustainable development of a region – this means that social, ecological and economic issues are taken into account equally. This can only be implemented together with the people who live and work in the region, or who visit our region. People are at the centre of the Nature & Geopark idea. A Nature & Geopark is not a protected area. Nor should they be confused with national parks, where nature conservation takes priority. In a Geopark the particular regional geology features are also highlighted. The geology shows how landscapes are created, which rocks and raw materials occur in the underground and how geology and soils influence land use.

The medieval castle of Beaufort was built between 1050 and 1650 and has four construction phases. Walter of Wiltz was the first Lord of Beaufort. From the second half of the 18th century onwards, the castle was no longer inhabited. The castle fell into disrepair and was used as a stone quarry by the local inhabitants. In 1928, the new owner of the castle, Edmond Linckels, had the debris in the parts of the castle that had not been inhabited for more than 300 years removed and the weeds that were growing everywhere. After extensive restoration work, the ruins were opened to the public in 1932. Both the medieval castle and the later-built Renaissance palace have been under monument protection since 1988.

Château de Vianden Vianden is in elk geval één van de mooist gelegen plaatsjes van het middelgebergte. Het historische plaatsje ligt verscholen in het dal, aan de oevers van de Our en wordt omringd door beschermende heuvels vol bossen. Magisch zijn de dagen waarop de ochtendnevel langzaam vanuit het dal optrekt en Vianden zich stukje bij beetje laat zien. Het kasteel is de onbetwiste topper van het stadje. Niet alleen vanwege het middeleeuwse uiterlijk – het is één van de best bewaarde feodale kastelen van Europa – maar ook door de boeiende geschiedenis. Het grootste deel van het bouwwerk werd van de 11de tot de 14de eeuw opgetrokken op een plaats waar ooit een Romeinse vesting stond.
