Welcome!

Hello everyone! Welcome to Luxembourg:blog version (aka better version). Learn everything there is to know about Luxembourg but actually have fun while you do it!

Landforms

For the most part, Luxembourg is flat except for the Oesling, rigid, unproductive plateau in the north with bad soil, and the Arennes, low mountains along the northern border.

Climates

Luxembourg has a more modified continental climate. Luxembourg often has mild winters and cool summers. Luxembourg is one of the few countries apart of Europe that is not located along the coast.

Ecosystems

Mid-latitude decidious forest

Natural Resources

Because of how small Luxembourg is, there are not many natural resources aside from sunlight and hydroelectric power from the many rivers.

Human Environment Interactions

Since Luxembourg is very small, the people need to maximize space as much as possible. The people of Luxembourg meet their needs by building roads and houses to meet travle and basic necessities. Luxembourgians also cut down trees to make more room for roads and buildings. Recently landfills have been established.

Buildings such as this one, are commonly found all over Luxembourg

Political Borders

Luxembourg is (obviously) very small, and shares its borders with Belgium, Germany, and France. In the 1800's, Luxembourg was raised to the rank of Grand Duchy by the congress of Vienna  and became the personal property of the King of Netherlands, William I. When the Grand Duchy was passed to the elder branch of the House of Nassau in 1890, Luxembourg became its own dynasty and has remained that way ever since.
