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?

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.
