The January full moon is commonly called wolf moon as it was thought that back in time when wolves were still present they hauled more as there was not much food available.
This January the moon rose in the late afternoon around d sunset which created beautiful colours.
The Upper Sure National Park in Northern Luxembourg is full of magic spots to observe the evening sky.
We first visited the east side of Dettifoss. The road is bumpier and there are less visitors. As we arrived in the evening we had the falls almost to ourselves.
From the carpark you first arrive at powerful Dettifoss. Even if you don’t see the waterfall you hear the majestic sound it creates.
A shirt walk upriver brings you to the beautiful Selfoss waterfall. A long water curtain
On the way back to the carpark we were facing this magical sunset over the gorge
