Why should you visit?
The peaceful Commune of Schengen is comprised of three villages, Remerschen, Schengen and Wintrage. Its name will forever be linked to the Schengen Treaty signed in 1995 to allow the free circulation of goods, services and people among signing countries. While the area is known for its forward-thinking, it is also a region of tre-mendous wineries. Situated on the southeastern-most tip of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the commune rises up to 302 meters above sea level and covers nearly 11-square kilometers. The region's rich soils and lush and story-book landscapes attract visitors from all over the world.
What can you do here?
A major attraction is the 42-kilometer long "Wine Road" that starts on the Luxembourg Moselle river. The route winds its way through gorgeous lands dotted by many exquisite wineries. Stopping to taste some of the wines is a must. Nature walks through the commune's green forests are highly appreciated by tourists. The Half Reimech trail takes visitors through many of the zone's exclusive lands and scenic observation points. One of the stops on the Half Reimech is dedicated solely to bird-watching and has an observation post that allows enthusiasts to view birds in their natural habitat. Bathing lakes and water sports are also enjoyed by visitors. There's an artificial beach that allows swimming and canoeing, as well as beach volleyball.
What makes the Commune of Schengen Special?
The "Three Border Region" comprised of the Commune of Schengen, French towns Sierck les Bains and Apach, along with German neighbor Perl (Saarland) is a district rich in cultural tradition. Cultural diversity is strongly promoted and is aimed at raising awareness in respecting each country's traditions. The immense respect the region has for nature and wildlife is truly amazing. The Three Borders Nature Park plans to build a crossing that runs through the "Pferdemosel", which is the area between the Saarland villages of Besch and Nennig (Perl). It will run adjacent to the man-made lakes, which are an important habitat for the park's birds. This crossing will allow visitors to cross the Moselle river without using cars.
