Buergbrennen Burn Baby Burn-Time to Take Part

Each year in Luxembourg and indeed across Europe on the first Sunday of lent bonfires are lit to chase away winter.
This is an ancient and indeed UNESCO recognized tradition that goes back to pagan times.

Fortunately, it’s also accompanied by food soup and, of course, crémant.

This year I am targeting Beggen but the final destination may change depending upon parking and public transport.
I am also hoping that some of our Luxembourg friends will turn up to explain the tradition.
Details are a little patchy so also be prepared for the time to change.
