A hill is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain. It often has a distinct summit.

Communes Of Luxembourg
Luxembourg's 102 communes ( lb, Gemengen ; French: ''communes''; german: Gemeinden) conform to LAU Level 2Statec (2003), p. 9&10 and are the country's lowest administrative divisions.

The municipal system was adopted when Luxembourg was annexed into the French département of Forêts in 1795.
