The Eisch ( lux. Äisch ) is a 49 km long, southwest and left tributary of the Alzette in Luxembourg .

geography

course

The Eisch arises west of Schockmillen from the confluence of the Menschbaach and Millebaach .

The upper reaches of the Eisch describes a 15 km long S-curve in a northerly direction and forms the border between the Grand Duchy and the Belgian province in the sections between Clemency and Grass, such as Steinfort and Eischen. Between Steinfort and Eischen the valley of the Eisch is gaining in depth. The Eisch crosses the village of Hobscheid and passes the edge of the municipality of Koerich .

The so-called Valley of the Seven Castles begins near Koerich. The Eisch still runs along the towns of Septfontaines, Roodt, Bour, Amsembourg and Hollenfels and finally flows into the Alzette a few meters after the Mamer at 214 m from the left .

The approximately 49.6 km long course of the Eisch ends approximately 108 meters below its source, so it has a mean bed gradient of approximately 2.2 ‰.

places

As of January 1, 2018, there are two fewer municipalities in the Eisch Valley due to the merger.

So the new community Habscht emerged from the community Hobscheid and Septfontaines, and the new community Helperknapp emerged from the community Tüntingen and Boewange.

The valley of the seven castles

Hollenfels Castle

There were once seven palaces or fortresses in the Eisch Valley, which is why it was named "Valley of the Seven Castles" in the early 20th century and is also advertised under this term for tourists.
