Fishing in Luxembourg

Unspoilt nature and freshwater creeks bubbling in the midst of forests so very much characterize the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It is well worth noting that many a Country Hotel have their own fishing grounds which are open to guests, and where the chef will be only too pleased to cook the day's catch for your table.

Fishing in Luxembourg is regulated by the Administration des Eaux et Forêts
Service Chasse et Pêche
