The Ruhla children’s sanatorium, for children in the age of 4-12 years old, was a modern, very well equipped sanatorium in the 70’s and 80’s. A sauna, solarium, in-house playground and a pool are just some of the features the property had to offer.

Hotel Le Belvédère – Abandoned ‘Belvédère des six Ourthes’
Hotel Le Belvédère is located on top of “Le Hérou”, a rock wall in a meander of the Ourthe. The history of the hotel, in the northeast of the province of Luxembourg, is vague.
Although the restaurant itself has little to offer, the ascent of the heavily decayed tower was a bit exciting. But I survived!
