Grosbous-Wahl – rural authenticity in the heart of the Guttland
The newly merged municipality of Grosbous-Wahl (Lux.: Groussbus-Wal) brings together the historic villages of Grosbous, Wahl, Brattert, Buschrodt, Grevels, Heispelt, Kuborn, Lehrhof, and the picturesque Rindschleiden – Luxembourg’s smallest village – to form a strong rural community.
Nestled among green hills, expansive hiking and cycling routes, and peaceful biotopes, the municipality is home to several cultural and historical treasures:
- Maria Theresa farms in Grosbous – harmonious 18th-century farm complexes built during the economic rise under Empress Maria Theresa.
- The “Schankemännchen” – a legendary statue in front of the town hall, reminiscent of a clever “ghost hunter” and still part of local folklore.
- Rindschleiden – a spiritual gem featuring the Romanesque St. Willibrord Church. Its 170 m² of 15th–16th century frescoes are among Luxembourg’s most significant sacred heritage.
- Thillenvogtei Rural Museum – a living open-air museum inviting visitors to bake bread, harvest potatoes, or experience old-fashioned school lessons, bringing the rhythm of rural life from earlier times to life.
Between historic farms, gently rolling fields, and mysterious valleys like the Haardsebruch, both seekers of peace and culture lovers will find joy. Numerous trails lead to hidden ponds, panoramic views, and places of reflection.
Grosbous-Wahl perfectly embodies the Guttland’s slow tourism promise: slow down, immerse yourself, and experience genuine everyday culture.
