Listen up nature lovers and fans of outdoor activities! As part of the LEADER project ‘Mëllerdall Outdoor!’, Luxembourg’s youth hostels and its regional partners offer a series of training courses for the outdoor and adventure guide, paving the way for future cooperative activities. The training is directed at participants, who already work with groups and who would like to expand their methods and be able to work within the framework of the new programmes in the Mullerthal region – Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland.
