Trip Description:

The highpoint is located in a scenic area of Luxembourg, right at the border with Belgium.  This is about 1/2 way between Brussels and Frankfurt.  The area itself is unremarkable and the highpoint is not worth a special trip, but it is certainly worthwhile to stop by if you are in the area.  On June 1st, the temperature was 40 degrees.
