Informal name given to the Eisch valley in Luxembourg
The Valley of the Seven Castles (Luxembourgish: Dall vun de siwe Schlässer; French: Vallée des sept châteaux) is an informal name given to the Äischdall, the valley of the Eisch river, in central Luxembourg. The valley stretches from the confluence with the Alzette upstream to Steinfort, on the border with Belgium. The entire route can be traversed in about an hour by car, starting near the town of Arlon on the Belgian/Luxembourg border.[1][2] There is also a 37-kilometre footpath that takes hikers along the valley and past the castles.[citation needed]
It is named after the group of seven castles that line its route.[3] Those seven castles are (in order, heading upstream):
Mersch
Schoenfels
Hollenfels
Ansembourg Castle
New Castle of Ansembourg
Septfontaines
Koerich Castle
Mersch Castle
Schoenfels Castle
Hollenfels Castle
Old castle, Ansembourg
New castle, Ansembourg
Septfontaines Castle
Koerich Castle
