Water
The River Moselle forms a 42 km natural border between Luxembourg and Germany in the south-east of the country. Especially in the summer months, the Marie-Astrid tourist boat operates regular services along the river.
Mertert near Grevenmacher on the Moselle is Luxembourg's only commercial port. With two quays covering a total length of 1.6 km, it offers facilities connecting river, road and rail transport. It is used principally for coal, steel, oil, agricultural goods and building materials.

Famous quotes containing the word water:
“We wished our two souls
might return like gulls
to the rock. In the end,
the water was too cold for us.”

And thereafter he belongs to it, to bread
Hard found, and water tasting of misery.”
