Description

Kids & Family Accessible to all

An adventure course through Bettembourg, which leads through the whole city in the giant footsteps of the "Ris".

10 meters tall and colorful: the "Ris" of the "Parc Merveilleux" is probably Bettembourg's best-known inhabitant.

With his red cap, checked trousers and blue pullover, he is the unmistakable landmark of the zoo and fairytale park, which opened in 1955.

Together with the artists Andy Genen (picture) and Lucien Czuga (text) a comic was created that sends "Ris" on a journey together with his friend, the parrot Lori.

Follow the giant of the "Parc Merveilleux" in Bettembourg and on this circular route. Along the path, which is aimed specifically at children and families, visitors trace the path of the "Ris", discover the history at augmented reality stations and see several sculptures and other works of art.

The path also exists as a longer version (10km), this also leads through the "Stréissel" nature reserve
