The Mëllerdall Nature & Geopark covers an area of approximately 256 square kilometers in eastern Luxembourg and has been recognized as a UNESCO Global Geopark since 2022. The region, also known as Luxembourg's Little Switzerland, is distinguished by its globally unique sandstone landscape, which formed about 200 million years ago. The Geopark unites eleven municipalities and aims to sustainably protect and showcase its geological, natural, and cultural heritage. Spectacular rock formations, deep gorges, and expansive plateaus characterize the landscape, which is made accessible by the famous Mullerthal Trail. In addition to its geology, the park is known for its high biodiversity, including rare fern species and extensive beech forests. The park's administration also fosters regional identity by supporting local products and preserving historic dry-stone walls and traditional orchards. It thus serves as a bridge between Earth's history and modern regional development.
