3 iconic stops — scenic drives, farms, haunts, and the views locals plan their October around.
Müllerthal Trail
TrailCalled Little Switzerland for its sandstone canyons rather than any real peaks, this 112-kilometer network of three connecting loops threads beech and oak forest, moss-covered rock corridors, and streams around Berdorf and Echternach, turning copper through most of October.

Vianden Castle
Historic townOne of the largest fortified castles west of the Rhine, its Romanesque and Gothic halls set on a rock spur 310 meters above the Our River. Beech and oak forest lines the valley below, colored through October; Victor Hugo lived in a house across the square during his 1871 exile.

Upper Sûre Lake
LakeLuxembourg's largest body of water, a 380-hectare reservoir dammed in 1961 for drinking water and power, ringed by Ardennes forest at the heart of the Upper Sûre Natural Park. The medieval village of Esch-sur-Sûre sits on a rock loop of the river just below the dam.
