On February 28th, Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa visited the European Institute of Cultural Routes (EICR), which is located at Neumünster Abbey. The organization reviews cultural routes with the ongoing purpose of demonstrating a shared cultural heritage across Europe. The EICR was established in conjunction between the Council of Europe and the Grand Duchy.

While visiting the Institute, the Grand Ducal couple were given a copy of the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe. As of 2016, thirty-two cultural routes had been identified, including Viking routes, historical thermal towns, and the Hansa.

The information was also posted at the institute's Facebook page.
