Luxembourg's Rivers

All of Luxembourg's rivers eventually drain into the North Sea. Most of them flow into the Moselle River. However, in the very southwest of the country, rivers flow into the Chiers River.

How Rivers Are Listed

In this list, rivers that flow directly into the sea are sorted alphabetically. Rivers that flow into other rivers are sorted by how close their meeting point is to the sea. Some big rivers, like the Meuse and the Rhine, don't actually flow through Luxembourg. But they are mentioned because rivers from Luxembourg flow into them.
