Embedded in the splendid landscape of the Ardennes, Vianden hat tourist tradition for more than a hundred years. Like the famous French poet Victor Hugo, thousands of visitors are charmed each year by the narrow and paved lanes, the gothic churches, the ramparts and fortified towers of the small medieval town, dominated by the magnificent, restored castle. Meanwhile, well-maintained tracks, offering spectacular panoramic views, invite the passionate walkers to meet the fauna and flora in the wide forests and narrow valleys.
