On Easter Monday, all roads lead to Nospelt, a village in the commune of Kehlen. This year, despite the rain and cloudy skies, the tradition was fulfilled again. Artisans gathered at the ‘Éimaischen’ market to showcase their creations, namely Péckvillerchers, clay whistles or ceramics in the shape of a bird.

The rain continued across the Grand Duchy for the rest of the week, even leading Meteolux to issue yellow alerts due to the risk of rain, wind and flooding. But the weather forecast for this weekend is encouraging and everything indicates that spring will return to Luxembourg.

And speaking of good weather, sun, clear skies and high temperatures are the ideal invitation to visit the gardens of Berg Castle. Those who wish can do so at the beginning of June. An opportunity announced this week on social media by the Grand Ducal House.
