River

Alzette

The Alzette (French pronunciation: ???[alz??t]; Luxembourgish: Uelzecht [??u??lts????t]; German: Alzig [??alts????]) is a river with a length of 73 kilometres (45 mi) in France and Luxembourg. It is a right tributary of the Sauer (a tributary to the Moselle), and ultimately to the Rhine. The rocky cliffs above the Alzette in Luxembourg are called 'Bock'. This name was given to the Casemates du Bock; a honeycomb of tunnels colloquially named 'Paula', which runs under the ruins of the Fortress of Luxembourg. It protected Luxembourg City for centuries.
