If you get tired of the city, and want some peace and quiet, the beauty of the surrounding countryside cannot fail to captivate you. Classified as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2020, this region’s nature reserves, and former open-cast mines, are ideal to explore. The Minett Tour, a route of about 35 kilometers, connects 5 sites with different themes, taking the visitors – of all ages – through the history of the Luxembourg steel industry to the present and future.
Here, for example, you can take an old train powered by a steam locomotive, climb on the terrace of the Blast Furnace of a former industrial plant, pay a visit to an old grocery shop that is frozen in time, and admire the awe-inspiring futuristic buildings of Belval’s new university library.
