Pétrusse Valley, Luxembourg

Displayed:   times.

Located below the Adolphe and the Passerelle bridges, it forms a natural dividing line between the Upper Town and Plateau Bourbon.
The Pétrusse, created by the confluence of the Cessange and the Merl rivulets, had no embankments until 1933. Beside its riverbed, one can still see vestiges of the former Bourbon sluice, which was set up in 1728 to flood the upper Pétrusse valley in case of attack by the enemy. More info on: www.lcto.lu
