From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buurgplaatz (alternate names: Buergplaatz, Burrigplatz, Burgplatz, Buergplaz zu Huldang) is a hill in the commune of Troisvierges, in northern Luxembourg. The 559 metre high summit lies within the Oesling region at 50°09′41″N 6°01′41″E / 50.1615°N 6.0281°ECoordinates: 50°09′41″N 6°01′41″E / 50.1615°N 6.0281°E[1].
It is often erroneously considered the highest point in Luxembourg (so much so that there is a plaque on the summit celebrating as such). Actually, it is the second highest, after Kneiff (560 m).[2]
