Discover the fascinating history and heritage of the southern region on the "Minett Tour", an industrial heritage route with nine partners, each fascinating in their own way. No matter whether in the old steelworks in Belval or Schifflange, underground in the mines in Ellergronn or in Rumelange, or in museums like in Kayl, Dudelange or in the open air in Fond-de-Gras; the history of the industry is deeply intertwined with the region's identity. So closely that it also influences society, culture and coexistence in the present.
What role did ore mining play in the development of Luxembourg in the 20th century? How did industry shape science and education? How did the landscape change? The people? Your sociability and drinking habits? All locations on the "Minett Tour" provide detailed information about all of these stories and their similarities. Even today, silent witnesses still provide evidence of the eventful past of a century that was so formative for the small country.
This challenge takes you through the entire region and shows it off from its best side: the multifaceted diversity and hiking options of the former open-cast mining areas, the former industrial sites, the great cultural offerings and much more. Tip: Several stages of the regional stage hiking trail "Minett Trail" lead past points in this challenge.
