Would you like to discover the region in a playful and interactive way? That’s possible: in the visitor’s centre you can visit the nature-led educational exhibition as well as the cartographic-educational exhibition.

The sliding windows, three-dimensional viewers, tunnels, doors, puzzles, sounds, lights and pictures of the nature-led educational exhibition reveal some of the secrets of that wonderful region of Voeren. Did you know for instance that badgers and escargots or Roman snails are true inhabitants of Voeren? And that the mistletoe is hanging in the poplars as a real Christmas decoration?

Would you like to discover the other secrets of this region?

Then come and pay us a visit!

The region of Voeren does not only have a unique landscape, it also has a complex history. The far-ancestors of the inhabitants of Voeren used to make arrow points out of flint- maybe even a surprise for Fred Flintstone- and the Romans used to know this region, which is situated near Tongeren en Aken, quite well.

The cartographic/historical exhibition further clearly shows the other occupiers, rulers and governors up to the present.
