Following the footsteps of history
Head out with the family on a fun walk that’s something between a game of paper chase and a treasure hunt. Discover the beauty of Mariembourg and its surroundings, have fun with the kids, and spend some quality time out in the fresh air.
This hunt takes you to Mariembourg. Here, you’ll head out to conquer the region’s medieval and industrial history. You’ll follow in the footsteps of such historic people as Mary of Hungary, the Sun King (Louis XIV), and Napoleon. After you’ve completed this route, there’s an original way you can learn even more about this region with the use of an old steam train.
