Situated between the valleys of the Sûre and the Black Ernz, near the German border, the region called “Luxembourgish Little Switzerland” or “Müllerthal”, is without doubt the most beautiful natural jewel in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
In fact, since prehistoric times, this grand region, an integral part of the German-Luxembourgish natural park, has attracted Man by its untamed beauty.
One of the best known, and most visited, curiosities in Mullerthal, a waterfall with 3 cascades and a picturesque stone bridge that crosses over it.


座落紹爾和黑恩斯兩河流域之間與德國邊境接壤的谷地,這地區素來有「盧森堡小瑞士」美稱又叫「米勒塔爾」,無疑是盧森堡大公國最美麗的天然資源瑰寶。
事實上,迄自史前時代,這一大塊地區就是德國與盧森堡自然公園不可或缺的部分,對人類具有無比原始美之吸引力。
一座古色古香的石橋跨越一條三岔瀑布是米勒塔爾眾多遊客推薦最知名美麗的景點。

Luxembourg - Castle Bridge


 

Stamp Issue : 1963-04-13 

Castle Bridge in Luxembourg was built in 1735 and totally restored in 1992/93. It's a red stone archway, that links the Count Siegfoi's 10th century castle to the old town. It can be found near the Bock casemates.
In 1735 the Austrians replaced the drawbridge, that was until then the only access to the city from the north, by this stone bridge. At that time, the fortress had already reached almost it's full extension, making it one of the strongest fortresses in the world, which is why it was called "Gibraltar of the North". Architects like Vauban, the chief architect of the French King Louis XIV, as well as various Spanish and Austrians reenforced the fortress successively in order to adapt it to the ever evolving weapon technology.

Stamp Issue : 1964-12-07 

Adolphe Bridge is a stone arch bridge in Luxembourg City, in southern Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It has become an unofficial national symbol of sorts, representing Luxembourg's independence, and has become one of Luxembourg City's main tourist attractions.
The bridge 153 meters long features a large double arch with a span of 85 meters overhanging the Pétrusse valley 42 meters below. With a width of 17.2 meters, the bridge is connected via 4 communication lines with 3 of them connecting to train stations, and the other going to Ville Haute bus line, accompanied by 2 pedestrian walkways.
Adolphe Bridge was built between 1900 and 1903. Although it is now over 100 years old, it is also known as the New Bridge by people from Luxembourg City. The “old bridge” in this comparison is the footbridge, which was built between 1859 and 1861.

Luxembourg - Passerelle






 

Stamp Issue : 1967-03-06 

The Passerelle, also known as the Luxembourg Viaduct, is a viaduct in Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. It runs southwards from the city centre, Ville Haute, carrying road traffic across the Pétrusse valley and connecting Boulevard Franklin Delano Roosevelt to Avenue de la Gare. It is 290m long, with 24 arches, and 45m above the valley floor.
It is also known as the Old Bridge (Luxembourgish: Al Bréck, French: Vieux pont, German: Alte Brücke) by people from Luxembourg City. The 'new bridge' in this comparison is the Adolphe Bridge, which was built between 1900 and 1903.
The Passerelle was built between 1859 and 1861 to connect the city centre with Luxembourg's new railway station, which was located away from the city centre so as to not detract from the defensive capabilities of the city's fortress.
