Why Vianden matters
Vianden is a small town on the Our river, climbing up the hill to a giant castle. Its narrow main street runs steeply down to the river. Writer Victor Hugo lived here for a time in exile, and his house is a small museum. A chairlift gives a bird's-eye view of the castle and valley.
Talking points
- A great castle crowns the town.
- A chairlift offers views over the valley.
- Victor Hugo spent time here in the nineteenth century.
