The Black Ernz (Schwaarz Iernz in Luxembourgish) is a picturesque river winding through the lush valleys of eastern Luxembourg. Its dark, tannin-rich waters give it the name 'Black', contrasting with the 'White Ernz' river. The river meanders through dense forests, past rocky outcrops, and alongside charming villages. It is a favorite spot for canoeing and kayaking, offering gentle rapids suitable for beginners and families. Anglers also frequent its banks, hoping to catch trout and grayling. The surrounding area is crisscrossed with hiking trails, providing opportunities to explore the river's serene beauty. A canoe trip on the Black Ernz is a relaxing way to experience Luxembourg's natural landscape.
