40 years "Fondation Hëllef fir d’Natur"

In the Attert valley, the Grendel Marsh extends over 4.37 ha, and consists of a mosaic of wetlands and extensive areas with springs. 
 
In the valley of the Attert, isolated in a modern rural landscape, the nature reserve of the "Marais de Grendel" covers an area of 4.37 ha. It is part of the European network of protected areas NATURA 2000 and consists of a mosaic of wetland and extensive environments with areas of springs. Located on the Belgian-Luxembourg border, it symbolizes good cross-border cooperation through joint management of an exceptional site. 
The site forms in its center two sets of low marshes, which are separated by an alder forest. The narrow-leaved cottongrass (Eriophorum angustifolium) as well as the Comaret (Comarum palustre) and the Marsh Violet (Viola palustris) can be found here. The most notable biotope is the remnant alkali moss, an extremely endangered habitat, including many rare and endangered plant species, including Blue Sedge (Carex panicea), Creeping Willow (Salix repens), and Broad-leaved Orchid (Dactylorhiza majalis).
