In the heart of this region in western Luxembourg lies Redingen on the Attert, the home of the legendary figure “Kropemann”. The LEADER bureau is located in the “Grand-Rue”, alongside with other service providers in the “Réidener Infostuff”.
The long-standing and fruitful cooperation with over 30 members in the region, including social initiatives, tourism stakeholders and partners from the fields of business, agriculture and forestry, the environment, tourism, youth and culture, is rewarding. Thanks to the support of LEADER, many pioneering projects have been designed and implemented in the region, such as the "Sozialwierkstat Umbrella", the inclusive project "ARNU" for the digitisation of local, historical cultural heritage, the creation of Regionalwert AG, and the project "Mertzig4all" creating public welfare.
The Wëlle Westen LEADER region currently includes nine municipalities: Beckerich, Ell, Grosbous-Wahl, Mertzig, Préizerdaul, Rambrouch, Redingen, Saeul and Useldingen.
The LEADER region Wëlle Westen focuses on the slow tourism movement, offers in the area of inclusive tourism and the development of short, high-quality hiking trails. The international "EuroVelo Route 5" (between London and Rome) crosses the region and leads from the north past the unique Obermartelingen slate mine over the old narrow-gauge railway "Jhangeli" through quaint villages towards the south. Other tourist offers include the UNESCO award-winning castle in Useldingen and the innovative overnight accommodation "MushRooms", the Beckerich "Kulturmillen" with the energy museum and the "TouristInfo Kanton Réiden" that informs tourists and visitors on the regional activities. In addition to tourism, the region has specialized economically on agriculture, trade and crafts.
