The forest - a green fortress
The inhabitants of Luxemburg see their forests as a green fortress which, in addition to its production value, offers its inhabitants the splendid vision of what is in some way «their » forest. Because of the pronounced relief of the country, the geological and climatic conditions result in very varied climatic conditions which enable Luxemburg's forest owners to achieve a great diversity of planting in a relatively restricted area due to adaptation of species to sites.
Forest area:
92 150 hectares = 35.2%
