Felsenkirche

Evangelical church
Sights & Landmarks
The Felsenkirche, a small church with a rich history, is nestled within the face of a rocky hill. Its exterior stands out amidst the rocks, while the entrance can be found through a cave-like tunnel. The interior of the church is also carved into the rock, creating an awe-inspiring sight. Perched above the city of Idar-Oberstein, this hidden gem boasts a cross made from precious stones, showcasing the town's renowned craftsmanship.
If you like history and ancient buildings this is a great place to go, a church that at the very beginning of the construction it was a castle.
When you are inside you are able to see how some of the walls are just rock of the mountain.
Very interesting place with an amazing story. We had an excellent guide that explained every single corner of the place.
The tour was made in German and one of our friends translated in to English. I didn’t ask if they offer a tour in English but I think it should be possible.
The best way to go inside is to order a tour, is nothing expensive but you need to consider that is at least for 8 people.

It was enjoyable to see the church. So impressive that it is built into the rock. We were bummed to find out that the opening hours that are listed on Google are only in conjunction with having tickets for a tour. There is a nice trail to walk up above the church to look at the ruins.
Just an amazing view.
You can visit the church by a guided tour only.
Our guide Mr. Becker was great - we were alone with him in the church which was a very special experience.
Unique church with so much history. Guide was vey informative.
Closed when we got there, but the little hike was nice and got some great pictures. Thanks you 👍 loves you
Its a stair climb to get here but a really beautiful little Church. Has an interesting history and has a myth about 2 brothers and why it was built. It has a spring in it to. Worth the time to check it out.
Amazing church carved directly into the rock face. A bit of a walk to get to it. A small spring is inside. Interesting story behind this church. Beautiful view from inside and above. Castle ruin nearby. No parking at the church but plenty in the village. Well worth the trip if you are in the area.
Was stationed near there in the U.S. Army in 1970 thru 1972. It was a very historic town. Lots of German history.

Marian S — Google review
After buying the entrance ticket, the kids received a small stone..this was so friendly of the receptionist. So much beauty and awe at one place. Learnt so much about agate and gemstone. After the visit to the museum, we passed by the gift shop and bought some souvenirs. The visit was totally worth it!
A good museum with 3 floors of gemstones. The pieces are well described and there are some unique gems too.
There are 2 different puzzle tracks for kids. Those make the visit for them more interesting. There is one with finding numbers and one with finding letters. Both were a bit challenging for a 6 year old.
They have a Audio Guide that you can download but a QR- code at the entrance would promote it more
very nice and interesting place. you can find there a lots of edelsteine from all over the world. also the museum shop is very tempting
We truly enjoyed this beautiful museum and the variety and wealth of gemstones they had on display. The variety and variance was stunning, we couldn't get over how beautiful some of the stones were.
The staff was very friendly and helpful and we definitely recommend a visit!
This museum was one of the most beautiful I have seen. There was a lot to learn about how they carved all the stones and gems and who invented it.
There are really beautiful stones and statues of creatures (as you can see in the pictures).
The employees are very nice and helped you if needed. There are a lot of cool things you can buy in the store!
This is a really good place to go if you love stones, gems and statues!
My daughter brought stones home in here pockets as a kid. So, even being in her 40's she loved the museum! It has some amazing gem work and historical facts on the gem business of the region.
Very nice collection gemstones. Friendly service, and a overwiew of the history of grinding and crafting gemstones. An affordable parking nearby.

Best air museum I've visited in a long time. Great collection of aircraft with some rare ones.
All looked well looked after which you don't always see when kept outside.
The only negative was food options which although was unique, being inside a Concorde, was great.
It would have been good to read a bit about the history of each individual airframe but would recommend visiting for anyone in the area.
Colin B — Google review
Very nice and compact Museum. Easy parking, perfect for a half day plan.
Hallo
It was a very good experience. I recommend everyone to go and see . This is an opportunity to get up close and personal with old passenger and fighter planes, their engines and other parts.
What an unexpected surprise...a huge aviation museum with lots and lots of aircraft to see close up. Historical jewels like the Ju-52, Comet, Il-18 or Super Connie, and rare helicopters like Mi-4 or the huge Mi-6 are among the museum's vast collection. You can grab a coffee and an apple cake in the Concorde caffee.
Great museum with lots of aircraft on display. It is a dedicated museum and for most people in Europe and 2-3 hours drive. Most aircraft are on display outside and if nice weather a good oppertunity for families to walk around.
Sadly I could not pay with a bank card in the cafe...so with no cash with me..I could not order lunch😟
Lots of Russian aircraft. Engine display is quite extensive. I found the entrance fee of € 14 a bit steep, otherwise I would have given the place 5 stars. But, you can have a beer and lunch in a Concorde.
This is a surprisingly large collection of aircraft, most of which are western-made fighter jets from the second half of the 20th century, as well as some passenger aircraft, helicopters, soviet aircraft and other related items. However, some of the aircraft aren't in great condition and they could be better maintainrd.
Still reccomended for flight and aircraft enthusiasts, and probably will keep the children busy as well.
Great selection of planes, helicopters, technology, flight gear and engines with detailed descriptions and all of that for a more than fair price. A place built up by a passionate person. Just be aware that the "Concorde", though imposing, is a replica being a "Concorde café", just in case you go there mainly for that bird. Anyway, I recommend this place to plane enthusiasts.

We felt very welcome, the lady provided a good explanation of their wines and we had the chance to do some tasting, we bought some amazing bottles. Our dogs were welcome too!
Did a great little wine tasting as part of a Viking cruise. The host gave a great history of the winery and the tasting cellar was a great ambiance for a tasting. We tried some of the best wines, and they threw in a red they have been playing with that was actually pretty good. I think they will get there with the reds with further development.
We just had a little palate cleansing bread and stuff for our tasting, but they have food and the menu looked pretty good to me. Didnot have time to go back for a full meal, but per our guide their food was very good.
A nice small quaint winery, and I would recommend worth a stop in to check it out in a classically beautiful Germanic medieval architecture
We were welcomed by Monika, a kind lady who knows her wine! She gave us tastings of their Trockens, as we prefer the dry rheislings. It was a lovely visit and we were happy to buy a few bottles.
My wife and I were welcomed for a complete and engaging tasting of more that seven of their excellent wines, all of them Rieslings, and each unique. An education in top Rieslings.
Fantastic wine super nice staff
Too expensive wine tasting without a proper info... not friendly people...

Sights & Landmarks
Cochem Castle, also known as Reichsburg Cochem, is a stunning 11th-century hill-top castle offering panoramic views of the town and the Moselle River. Although much of the original structure was destroyed in the 17th century, it was meticulously restored to its former glory in the 19th century. Perched on a vineyard-covered hilltop, this iconic landmark is considered one of Germany's most beautiful castles.
Beautiful piece of architecture decorating the town. Nice local attraction with a coffee and observation terrace. Fantastic tour guide. I was wishing for more spaces to be available in the castle. Perhaps exposition is only 30% of the possible area. Still very beautiful and worth the visit.
Egle K — Google review
Delightful, Incredible views. Enjoyable food in restaurant, but extremely busy. Recommend going on the tour inside the castle. A Lovely well-spoken young lady and most fascinating and spectacular views and history of the castle. A Absolute must for any tourist.
Wonderful mix of history and culture. It is truly beautiful! The only downside is that there’s no parking on-site — you have to park about 10–15 minutes away. It was quite a challenge with young children because of the long walk.
We visited the castle on a Sunday, it wasn't crowded. We parked the car (at our own risk) at the school below the castle. We paid 10€ for the castle tour ticket and waited 15 minutes for the guided tour.
An interesting day, full of historical information.
Small but beautiful castle. They offer tours in English and German, for a reasonable price. You can only tour the castle with a tour guide. Great views. Definitely worth a visit.
A beautiful place to visit and nearby from Frankfurt. 3 hrs journey by train. Good place to hangout during weekends. The place has a vibe and lots of visitors. The streets are nice that leads to the castle and the view from top is wonderful. Must visit !
Love this place. I visited in the month of October , fall season added to the beauty of this place. The promenade and shops around it make the experience lively and full of warmth. In the market town you can have a taste of seasonal Federwein/ Federweißer and other forms were also available.Took guided tour to the castle which is not so far from the bahnhof (train station). There is also option to hike to the castle or go by bus.
Cochem Castle is a stunning hilltop fortress offering magnificent views over the charming town of Cochem and the Moselle River.
The castle features fairy-tale towers, medieval architecture, and beautifully restored interiors that reflect its rich history.

Christopher D — Google review
Let's start out with I had high hopes for this place. It was highly recommended and we drove two hours to visit it. Upon arrival we had roughly 30 minutes to see everything due to them closing and us running into traffi. We were greeted by an individual who didn't even say hello just a what do you want we are closing. We tried to talk a bit regarding the mustard and process and asked if we could try some. After giving a long sigh he allowed us to try some of the flavors before us choosing.
Now for the mustard. The original is my favorite while the other flavors I had were more of a mustard which then they added spices. To me I thought it would have more of a unique taste or something different from just added spice. They do accept card and the mustard is around 7 euro.
Now for the review. This place just from the staff alone. I would have to give it a 2 out of 10 on that 🔥 scale. The location is very beautiful and good walking distance to the downtown area.
Nice little shop. It is a shop. There is a cart for tasting that people can visit.they have marmalades and mustard. 10-ish or so of each. I think there is a special session you can do the describes how everything is made etc, but that is scheduled and you needs ticketa
We were here as part of a river cruise tour. We were Interested in learning about how mustard is made, but not really a fan of the product. This is a really small working operation that does a good job to explain the history and development of the product.
A lovely mustard museum near the Moselle river, Cochem. Well worth the visit if you are in the area. Had the opportunity to sample the many mustards before purchasing. Very tasty indeed! Other products available to purchase if mustard is not your thing.
It's a shop with hardly anything out on display. I guess you can only do so many varieties of mustard. Anyway, we walked in, did the circumference in about 1.5 minutes, and walked out. I'm not really sure why this place has the possibility to review it.
Not many words required for this place: Mustards and sausages. Many mustards available in different flavours, home made by the still in use mill. You pay a price for it, around €7,80 for a 250ml jar. Too much in my opinion, but yes, many tourists will buy it anyways. Oh yes, you can do some tasting as well.
Just tried the sausage and a mustard of your choice for 2,50 offer. We really enjoyed it. Of course, some mustard flavors won‘t fit everyones preference. But the sausage was really good. While my favorite was the historic mustard, my +1 preferred the garlic mustard - a bit too intense for me.

Kaiserthermen

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Kaiserthermen, also known as the Imperial Baths, is a 1600-year-old Roman bath complex located in Trier. Built in the 3rd century by Emperor Constantine, these baths were intended as a gift to the city's inhabitants but were never completed. The remaining walls stand at an impressive 19 meters high and offer visitors a glimpse into the past.
This is such an easy place to stop by quickly and check out such a historical Roman ruin and it’s only a few euros to get in. You can see everything in less than an hour and it’s quite amazing to walk through the tunnels and see the historic remains at this active archaeological site. Definitely take the time to stop by and check this amazing place out.
Dale S — Google review
Very amazing to walk in the tunnels underground. So crazy to think that the walls are almost a thousand years old. Very worthwhile to go visit.
This Roman ruin is surprisingly easily accessible considering its ticket price, less crowd, and close distance from the town center. Entrance is located at the Southern-west end of the palace garden. Walking through the underground isles makes you feel like you're exploring in dungeons. I brought my kids here and they really enjoyed walking here. The only disappointment is the minimal explanation available on site except the pamphlets you get at the entrance. However imagining how people would have used this place is also very fun. Similar ruins in southern Europe would be much more crowded, I presume. Nearby parking is easily accessible, too.
Impressive enough to see it from outside. Stunning! Entry cost 6€
Great Place to Visit if you find yourself in Trier. Tickets are pretty cheap and the underground passageways are exciting to explore.
A well preserved living museum. Easy to find, and a short walk from other tourist sites.
No immediate parking, but good clean toilets and friendly staff.
6 euro for an adult entry, which is well worth it.
The history is well preserved and incredible to walk around.
There are also modern overview points and history boards
Great place but we missed more information in English
There was no waiting time or queue when we went in. Tickets were around €5 or €7 for two people which is not bad at all. You could easily spend there 1h-2h exploring the underground’s. I would highly recommend to visit while you’re in Trier.

This was my first time visiting the Trier Cathedral (Trier Dom), and I was truly impressed by the grandeur and historical richness of the place. The architecture is breathtaking — a perfect blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles, reflecting over 1,700 years of history.
The atmosphere inside is calm and spiritual. The high ceilings, ancient stone walls, and stained glass windows give a powerful sense of timelessness. It’s amazing to think this is the oldest cathedral in Germany, with parts dating back to Roman times.
There’s also a lot to explore: the Holy Robe (Heiliger Rock), the crypt, and the quiet courtyards surrounding the complex. Entry is free, and there are brochures in multiple languages available for visitors. I highly recommend taking your time to sit quietly inside and soak in the peaceful environment.
Whether you’re religious, interested in history, or just love beautiful architecture, the Trier Dom is a must-visit.
Trier Cathedral, old architecture marvel because it was built in a very old era.
Beautiful historical structure with religious importance because of the holy robe.
Last time it was displayed in 2012 to the public where large number of visitors came.
To visit inside there are certain timings which changes from winter.
Amazing cathedral and architecture, with roots going bsck 1700 years to Roman occupation. Current structure from 13th century and stunning both inside and out. Free to enter, with several options inside to donate towards supporting the building. Hard to imagine how they built it without modern tools. The ceilings are well over 10 stories high, and they elaborate carvings and paintings are simply stunning!
There are many beautiful and breathtaking cathedrals across Germany and Europe but this one stands at the top with the best. While on the outside it may not appear as daunting or heavenly, inside is quite the opposite. What a breathtaking experience. Be sure to go down below to the catacombs and outside to the courtyard. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Trier.
A good must visit place in Trier center. Walkable and cathedral looks magnificent. The entire place around the cathedral gives a glimpse into the old Germany. Also entire place will be tourists who are interested in visiting Trier.
The sculptures are beautifully intricate and the whole building is awe inspiring. Some is a bit creepy, but I guess it’s incentive towards good living.
Beautiful architecture inside and out. It's free to go inside no dogs allowed. Well worth a visit if you are in Trier

Porta Nigra, also known as the Black Gate, is a grand Roman gateway dating back to 180 AD. It is the largest monument of its kind in the north of Italy and serves as a natural starting point for exploring Trier. Despite several renovation projects over the years, its imposing size and unmissable Roman design have been retained. Visitors can walk through it and even go up into it to appreciate the detailed carvings and sheer size.
Beautiful day out in Trier where this historic gateway is found. A ride in the tourist train is a must ro see the main sights which are all accessible to walk within 20 min radius. Lovely bars and cafes in the square. The Cathedral is beautiful. Home of Karl Marx, his house is good to visit too alongside the amphitheatre, palace gardens and other beautiful buildings.

Absolutely beautiful!
We parked in a structure not too far from here near city center. Look in my reviews for the location. This beautiful display of ancient architecture was very impressive. There is a great place to take a picture in front of the gate towards the main road. We just stood in awe!
It's a strange thing to find such Intact and extensive Roman ruins so far north in Europe!
In many ways this building is better preserved than some of the buildings in Rome itself. Very informative interpretation, reasonably priced and presenting good views of the city!
Excellent landmark to visit in the middle of the delightful town of Trier. Museum offers a unique insight into local Roman and political history. Limited public conveniences and places to rest do reduce overall enjoyment, however there's many café options and restaurants nearby.
Stumbled across this Roman structure.
Relatively quiet access, amazing looking ancient structure around a more modern area.
Well preserved, access allowed into the structure.
Amazing site to see - not often you csn see Roman ruins from the 2nd century. Built from huge sandstone blocks, some weighing 6 tons - without modern machinery. The only one of the 4 original gates still standing, it was spared because it was used as a church. Massive structure in the center of town that should inspire awe. A remnant of a different age, when the Roman Empire ruled much of Europe.
I visited on a Tuesday late afternoon at around 1600. It is a very well preserved Roman building, where you could enter and walk up to the third floor of the building for a ticket of €5 (Student ticket). The explanation on the history of this building was very detailed and informative. 1 hour is well sufficient for a detailed visit for this landmark and learning its history. Overall, it is a fantastic experience to learn about the history of this area and I would definitely recommend people to visit.
The fact that this was built around 170 AD is absolutely mindblowing. I loved it! They still have some remnants of religious things in it, which was very interesting to see since it was also turned into a church at some point.

Hauptmarkt
Mentioned on
Historical landmark
Shopping
Nestled in the heart of Trier, Hauptmarkt is a delightful central square that captures the essence of medieval charm. Surrounded by vibrantly painted buildings and traditional half-timbered houses, this picturesque market square offers stunning views of iconic landmarks like Porta Nigra and the Cathedral. It's a perfect spot for people-watching or enjoying a leisurely meal at one of the many cafes and restaurants that line its edges. The centerpiece, a beautiful fountain adorned with statues representing cardinal virtues, adds to its allure.
We were there for the weekend. The city vibe, the architekture, cuisine, smells... We bought some riesling and drank it in the main market, looking at some fine, old buildings :) What can you want more?

Classical midieval architecture with tonnes of shops and restaurants area. Much of it is very modern, so even though it is old the business is not. Still a fun place to visit, but there are so much cooler areas in Trier to see.
The Hauptmarkt in Trier is beautiful. It is very well preserved and you can feel the history from Trier here. You can spend hours walking around and enjoying the views.
City centre area with old architecture, whole area only for walking. Porta nigra and cathedral also in this area.
Visit anytime, there are always people.
Electoral Palace and Basilica also just within 10 mins walking from here.
Whole market area with different restaurants, stores, individual stalls, old buildings, church, everything can be covered in 30-45 mins of roaming around.
This is a great place to get out and walk around. I also used parking here to go visit the city gate. It was not a far walk from here to Porta Nigrq. While we were here in the market we purchased a beautiful bone china tea cup, experience the lovely perfume stores, walked around to discover the beautiful surrounding architecture, enjoyed some delicious ice cream, sat in the center and enjoyed some coffee and a cup of chocolate. Very lovely!
Lovely town and full of beautiful buildings.
Easy to just wander, gaze and admire.
Probably one of the best european Style place in Germany. The old renovated buildings Here are really Antique. Just makes me Happy when i Walk through Hauptmarkt. 😊🧘♂️ Peace.

My husband had an amazing time throughout this experience! Everything was clearly explained in a thorough debriefing, and safety was clearly a top priority throughout. The instructor who rode with him made the experience even more fun and engaging. A fantastic, well-run operation—highly recommend for any driving enthusiast!

Absolutely awesome experience driving Numbergring yesterday. Love Fabrice (my instructor) yelling at me the whole time “gas, gas, gas, you have the whole track”. “Don’t brake, don’t brake” Unbelievable & surreal experience. Will come again if my wife let’s me! Thank Jay (Australia)
Absolutely amazing! Did the First Timer package, and the guides were incredibly friendly. Cars were clean and well maintained, and the preparation they provided before the track laps was great. The instructor that came with me knew the track incredibly well and was able to guide me around quickly and safely. Highly recommend!
Very professional outfit. The setup on the car was great (BMW M240i RSR) I got to run some laps on their Fanatec simulator first to warm up, which really helped a 1st timer like me. Everyone there made the experience enjoyable, and it couldn't possibly be in a more convenient location.
Absolutely a 5 star experience.
Highly, highly recommend RSR Nürburgring - long review ahead because we only have amazing things to say!
My husband had the best time of his life, and it was an incredible first experience at the Nürburgring, all thanks to RSR. This trip was planned specifically to fulfil his dream of driving at the green hell, and after tons of research, we chose RSR for their First Timer Package - and it truly couldn’t have been more perfect.
We arrived at 9.30am to kick off the day with a road tour. This was such a great start as it gave us more insight into the history of the Nürburgring, including a visit to the Südschleife - the forgotten section of the old Nürburgring, and some scenic view spots around the track. It happened to be Industry Pool Day, so we also got to see various German automotive brands testing their vehicles, which was an unexpected bonus!
The road tour was especially cool because we were allowed to use the same car we’d be taking on the track - in our case, the M2 G87, which was clean, well-maintained, and an absolute joy to drive. The tour included some spirited driving on B-roads (all within safe limits), which gave my husband a feel for the car before the track session.
After the tour, we were given museum tickets and had a break for lunch - both nice additions to the experience. Before the actual track time, we returned the car so RSR could do a check - it was reassuring to see that they take safety seriously.
Next came the safety briefing, which was comprehensive and very well conducted. Then it was finally time to hit the track! My husband was assigned an instructor for the first lap, and he was fantastic - clearly experienced and very knowledgeable. He gave great guidance and tips, which helped my husband feel confident. We ended up adding another lap with the instructor and then my husband finished with two solo laps, putting what he learned into action. Unfortunately, we didn’t catch the instructor’s name, but he made a huge positive impact on the experience.
All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the Nürburgring. RSR is professional, passionate, and truly knows how to create a top-tier driving experience. We'll definitely be back - and if you're considering doing this, don't hesitate. Just book it.
Top experience for the best value.
Can only recommend the guys and the cars.
The process was very smooth and friendly, they explain to you everything, they are flexible and very kind.
Also having an instructor with you is vital for the first lap at least, and they have cool instructors, so book one.
The i20N is perfect for the very first 10-20 laps, it‘s powerful enough believe me. And don‘t crash it, I‘ll need it back soon, cause I‘ll come back for sure :).
Thanks a lot guys!!

I attended the RSR event at the Nurburgring and Spa-Francorchamps from August 1-5. To be sure, the tracks were as amazing as I had hoped them to be and driving them was the fulfillment of a dream. The joyous insanity of the Nurburgring is equaled by the elegance and precision of Spa.
But the overall experience provided by RSR was so much more than providing access to the tracks. Every detail of my weeklong trip was handled with such precision and personal attention that I went home wondering what part was the best: Was it the driving? Was it the first class accommodations (trackside at Nurburgring and a Michelin-quality resort in Belgium)? Was it the exquisite food (including gourmet dining at Hotel Le Val d' Amblev for our nights at Spa)? Was it the people handling all the above? Ultimately, it was clear that the people involved in the event made it as good as it was.
Ron has assembled the most amazing team, and they ALL make it their mission to ensure that everything is simply perfect.
Jonathan's management of the event and our group was superlative. He so clearly finds joy in his work, and that job is executing the vision of a perfect driving holiday in Europe. (Jonathan ... mission accomplished!) Ray was a most welcome addition to everything he attended, with his South African accent and big smile.
The cars were in excellent condition, and they were maintained expertly and quickly throughout all phases of the events. If they needed fuel, air in a tire, a tire change (as track conditions changed), oil, a windshield cleaning or anything else (including the fastest change of brake pads I have ever seen), the mechanics almost magically put things right so that I could return to the fun in the least amount of time.
The other support staff -- from event managers, photographers, etc. -- were always ahead of us and prepared everything for our arrival. Those events included a VIP lounge dinner at the Nurburgring GP track to watch the old timers racing one night, as well as literally creating a lounge in a garage for our days at Spa.
Finally, Ron appeared to take great joy in mingling with his many guests, and he even afforded many of them the pleasure of taking them out for proper fast laps at Spa. (Ron, my wife still thinks you are a rock star for driving her more ably and faster than I ever could. Thank you.)
To start this review, I would like to share my appreciation for the gentleman and lady in the front office. They were lovely, professional and really welcoming to make sure we got the experience we came for. I couldnt share a higher appreciation for their service.
Secondly, amongst all the rental providers we enquired with, RSR was by far the most established and professional service, happy to talk us through any concerns and make sure we had the most suitable car for our needs. They were clear about the risks involved, and made sure the appropriate level of caution was exercised resulting in a safe but memorable experience.
It is clear that RSR has the largest car selection around and the level of safety checks and regular servicing to their cars cant be faulted. I wouldnt not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and would only consider going back with RSR.

Nürburgring is a renowned motor racing complex featuring circuits from the 1930s and Grand Prix. It offers competition events and driving experience programs. The area also includes Nurburg castle ruins, providing a picturesque view of the Nürburgring. Car enthusiasts will find plenty to do at the main facility, including visiting official merchandise stores and other unique shops within the complex. Spectating corners like Brunnchen offer exciting views of the track.
Unforgettable Experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We stumbled upon this place by chance, and wow, what a find! The spirit of this place is incredibly strong – you can practically feel the excitement in the air, and it's absolutely contagious.
While we didn't get a chance to hit the track ourselves this time (maybe next time!), it was still an amazing experience. Watching all the different cars tear around the circuit, hearing the thunderous roar of the engines, and just soaking in the atmosphere of the racing world for a bit was fantastic.
This is a truly magnificent place, definitely worth experiencing and visiting!

It's always a lot of fun to spend the day at tourist drives. Driving a lap yourself or just watching the sheer variety of cars pass by while soaking up the atmosphere is definitely one of my favourite automotive-themed things to do.
For me the Nürburgring is truly a magical place me and I'm guessing for any motorsport enthusiast.
From the moment I first stepped onto its legendary track, I was instantly captivated by its rich history and the thrill of the technical corners.
The atmosphere is electric, and there’s this undeniable vibe that surrounds this place every corner.
I love how the track challenges me with its technical sections and its fast straights.
It’s more than just a racetrack; it’s a pilgrimage for anyone who loves speed and precision. Every lap is an adventure, and the entire experience leaves you with unforgettable memories.
If you haven't...
GO.
NOW !
Bucket list levels. Great track. The GP track and Nordschleife. If you are into cars I highly recommend it. Just being there is awesome. Surrounding yourself with cars, car culture and really nice people with a shared interest. It's awesome. Highly recommended.
We visited Ringwerks at Nurbergring, amazing place with very helpful friendly staff. As visiting Brits still learning to speak German the local people were so kind and accommodating towards us. Can't wait to return next year.
If you like cars and races, visiting here is a good idea. It is also possible to have a lap in the pist with your car or a rental car. I like it and highly recommend to visit.
It was a very good experience. Our son was doing a driving experience day in a Formula Ford. The cars looked good and the performance was excellent to watch. There was plenty of staff around and some nice snacks to eat, and cold drinks were also provided as well as Tea and Coffee. The staff were very helpful and it was a great day out. The experience lasted around 5 hours in total. A certificate was provided at the end of the day. It is so surprising the level of people's driving abilities on the track. All ages were present from around esrly 20s to 60s plus. A great day seemed to be had by all.
Staying at the Nürburgring was an unforgettable experience, having a trackside room with a balcony, and wow – what an experience! The GP track and the Green Hell the Nordschleife, absolutely crazy. Watching cars scream past just meters away, feeling the rumble of engines from the comfort of my own room… pure magic. If you’re into motorsports, this is the place to be.
One of the absolute highlights of the trip was driving the legendary Nordschleife. I had the thrill of going out in my son’s BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe around the Green Hell – an unforgettable ride with a perfect mix of fun and fear! But that wasn’t all – I also had the chance to experience the track in a BMW M5 CS, a Ring Taxi…..and wow… what an absolute beast. The power, the handling, the way it devoured the corners, the driver a 24 Hours Le Mans driver– just next-level. That experience alone was worth the trip.
If you’re heading to the Nürburgring, book a trackside room, drive the Nordschleife, and if you can – treat yourself to something like the M5 CS. You’ll never forget it.

If you come on a public holiday, I'd suggest ordering your food upon arrival. Let one of you find a parking spot, and then stand in the queue to get the food. 2 hours later, if you're lucky enough to make you understood by the waiter, you can get your "fast food" somehow ready.
Unfriendly and super slow service. Had to leave to the town to get some food. As a result we only spent a half day instead of the planned whole day at the park.
(Translated by Google) After a great visit to the wildlife park, nothing beats a good portion of meat ^^
Unfortunately there isn't even a salad in this restaurant :/
After feeding deer all day, you can look forward to a delicious deer ragout in the evening 👎🏼
(Original)
Nach einem tollen Besuch im Wildpark, geht doch nichts über eine ordentliche Portion Fleisch ^^
In diesem Restaurant gibt es leider nicht mal einen Salat :/
Nach dem man also den Tag über Hirsche füttern durfte, kann man sich über ein leckeres Hirschragout am Abend freuen 👎🏼
(Translated by Google) Clean but inedible. Currywurst fries for €6.50 read great at first... what was offered is a lukewarm bratwurst in spiced ketchup with a touch of curry powder and fries that can be compared in quality to oven fries at home. If the simplest basics aren't even right, I'm really glad I didn't try the wild burger for €13.50. The store seems to be holding up because the park is well attended... which still surprises me.
(Original)
Sauber aber ungenießbar. Currywurst pommes für 6,50€ las sich erstmal klasse... was dargeboten wurde ist eine lauwarme Bratwurst in gewürzketchup mit einer Brise currypulver und pommes die von der Qualität her mit Backofen pommes zuhause zu vergleichen sind. Wenn die einfachsten basics nicht mal stimmen bin ich echt froh, dass ich den wildburger für 13,50€ nicht probiert habe. Der Laden hält sich scheinbar weil der Park gut besucht ist... was mich trotzdem wundert.
(Translated by Google) Today, four of us were here for the second time. And certainly for the last time. The food is unfortunately terrible. The wait for food is endless, and they only serve meat. Not even a side salad or a sandwich.
The park and the restaurant are open until 6:00 PM, but there was nothing to eat at 5:00 PM because the kitchen had already closed.
The 8 km circular trail had some deep potholes, but it was very clean.
A bird of prey show that we attended was our highlight; it was informative and you could experience the birds up close.
€55 for four people was quite reasonable. The food was just sausage, schnitzel, and meatballs, with immense wait times.
Gravel road with some large potholes, but clean and well-maintained.
A plus was the great, large playground with lots of fun activities (carpet slide, jelly, trampolines, and much more).
Unfortunately, we had to go home hungry because the restaurant was too crowded at lunch and the kitchen was closed in the afternoon.
Bottom line:
Once you've been there once, you won't need to go back again.
(Original)
Wir waren heute mit 4 Personen zum 2. Mal hier. Und sicher auch zum letzten Mal. Die Gastronomie ist leider total schlecht. Die Wartezeit für ein Essen dauert ewig und es gibt nur Fleisch. Nichtmal einen Beilagensalat oder ein belegtes Brötchen.
Der Park und das Restaurant sind bis 18:00 Uhr offen, aber etwas zu Essen gab es es um 17:00 nicht mehr, da die Küche schon geschlossen hatte.
Der 8km lange Rundweg war teils mit tiefen Schlaglöchern versehen, jedoch sehr sauber.
Eine Greifvogel Show die wir besucht hatten war unser Highlight, informativ und man konnte die Vögel hautnah erleben.
55€ für 4 Personen war ganz ok. Gastronomie nur Wurst, Schnitzel, Frikadelle mit immensen Wartezeiten.
Schotterpiste mit teils großen Schlaglöchern, aber sauber und gepflegt.
Ein Plus war der tolle große Spielplatz mit vielen attraktiven Aktivitäten (Teppichrutsche, Wackelpudding, Trampoline, u.v.m.)
Mussten aber leider hungrig nachhause fahren, da der Andrang im Restaurant mittags zu groß war und nachmittags die Küche geschlossen hatte.
Fazit:
Wenn man einmal dort war, muss man kein zweites Mal hin.
(Translated by Google) We have enjoyed visiting the Waldhaus Restaurant in the Daun Wildlife and Adventure Park for many years.
Now we have seen an innovation in the outdoor area for the first time,
that we really like:
Extra tables and seats are offered for those who have been vaccinated, tested negative or have recovered.
We finally feel protected at mealtimes and have plenty of seating to choose from.
Overall, this security area is very spacious and there are even covered seats.
At no time did we have the feeling that “unvaccinated people” were getting too close to us.
This group of people has also been taken into consideration: There is a covered seating area, even with a barbecue facility.
During our visit, however, we could observe from a distance that this area was completely overcrowded, probably also because of the rain.
We are very pleased about this successful project, and it would be nice if this demarcation could perhaps be extended to include the sanitary facilities available there. Better safe than sorry!
The irony of the story: Unfortunately, I couldn't rate the food today because I was no longer hungry due to spontaneous nausea and had to leave the park immediately.
(Original)
Seit vielen Jahren besuchen wir gerne das Waldhaus Restaurant im Wild- und Erlebnispark Daun.
Nun haben wir zum ersten Mal eine Neuerung im Außenbereich gesehen,
die wir wirklich gut finden:
Es werden extra Tische und Sitzplätze für geimpfte, negativ getestete oder genesene Angeboten.
Endlich fühlen wir uns bei den Mahlzeiten geschützt und haben reichlich Auswahl an Sitzgelegenheiten.
Insgesamt ist dieser Sicherheitsbereich sehr großzügig angelegt und es gibt zusätzlich sogar überdachte Sitzplätze.
Zu keiner Zeit hatten wir das Gefühl, dass uns „ungeimpfte“ zu nahe kommen.
An diesen Personenkreis wurde aber auch gedacht: Es gibt eine überdachte Sitzgelegenheit, sogar mit Grillmöglichkeit.
Bei unserem Besuch konnten wir allerdings aus der Ferne beobachten, dass dieser Bereich völlig überfüllt war, wohl auch wegen aufkommenden Regens.
Wir freuen uns sehr über dieses gelungene Projekt, und es wäre schön wenn man diese Abgrenzung vielleicht auch auf die dort vorhandenen sanitären Anlagen ausweiten könnte. Sicher ist sicher!
Die Ironie der Geschichte: Das Essen konnte ich heute leider nicht bewerten, da ich aufgrund von spontan aufkommender Übelkeit, leider keinen Hunger mehr hatte und sofort den Park verlassen musste.
(Translated by Google) Very long wait! The game dishes are still quite good, but everything else is tasteless and cheaply made! I've been to the restaurant twice, and this was the last time.

Family park with classic fairground & water rides, plus bears & wolves in a wildlife area.
The kids, although young (2&4 yrs), were very excited. They could enter free and played the whole day. They went on various slides, merry go rounds, minikarts, trampolines and had the best day of our holiday. Highly recommended with young kids.

I liked the park, it was fun and the day will fly by like crazy. There is rides for people with disabilities but not a right lot which is why I knocked a star off and not alot for wheelchair users. I liked the part and will go again. You can tell the animals there are also well looked after and fed which is very nice to see.
Nice park with well maintained decor. Lots of rides and activities for kids in the height range of 90 to 140cm. Specifically height, because that restricts the accessibility of the rides.
It lacks the atmosphere of a park like Efteling, but we still spend a full day here!
We bought a season ticket, which they sell for such a reasonable price. Never too busy even during peak times. The light show was beautiful and they put so much effort into the Halloween decorations. Our Halloween obsessed boy was in heaven and has been asking to go back every day since.
My kids love this place more than Disneyland, Legoland, and Holiday Park (Plopsaland). It's a Theme Park and small zoo combined into 1. Bumper cars, trampolines, rodelbahn, roller coasters, log ride, ball pits, trapeze show, dog show, bear feeding... you name it, they probably have it. There is an amazing, large playground area that was a ghost town when we went likely because it's kind of tucked out of the way... but it's a fantastic play area with gobs of things to do and as a bonus, much if it is shaded.
Most rides are catered for children 100+ cm tall but there are still plenty of things to do for smaller children. And besides, kids under 105cm are free!
I highly recommend this place for families.
Expect a lot of fun! Bring 1€ coins to feed deer and goats. Lots of walking but beautiful scenery. Great Halloween decorations!
Amazing family-friendly park with a perfect mix of nature, wildlife, and fun rides!
Eifelpark is a wonderful destination for both kids and adults. The animal enclosures are spacious and clean, and we really enjoyed watching the bears, wolves, and deer. The rides are fun and suitable for different ages — from little ones to teens. The views of the surrounding nature are beautiful, and the whole place is very well maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for a full day of fun and relaxation in nature!
Nice park. But smoking still allowed everywhere, including in eating places around children. Park sells also cigarettes inside the park (automat)!
I'll never travel to Antwerp without this trip planner again

Very interesting place to visit, especially for school classes and other group trips, and nice personal, however me and my friends waited fifteen minutes for the gastronomy to open, when they were supposed to already be open, we had to call the place for them to open the doors and the food was overpriced and tasted bad. My friends and I had waffles with cherries and cream, the cherries tasted like they were already rotten and we could not eat them so it was wasted money.
Beautiful place with wonderful views.
Parking ticket : 6€
There is a restaurant with “standard food quality” and enough places for everyone inside and outside.
Walking through the national park is an amazing experience.
It’s a modern museum. Lovely views and solid information. The audio guide should be updated (google audio voiceover in 2025?) plus some of the signes would be great to have im English. Overall very good, nice and helpful people. Thank you
The place was both shocking (historical aspepct) and mesmerizing. The area is large, you should expect a lot of walk, but it worth. If you are looking for the exact preservation of the national socialist place, you should look elsewhere. This facility was used a lot since then, so lots of modernizations happened, but this did not take out any experience from me. The location is awesome with excellent lookout.
Amazing historical place, although a bit difficult to apprehend without going through the museum.
The museum is well thought, focusing on the background for building such a place before going through it (brief) use by the nazis and the impact on the graduates. It really shows the inefficiency of the authoritarian regime, but also the indoctrination and resulting horrors.
A great place to visit on a sunny day!
Wonderfull view, very interesting place
I can recommend the guided tour. We did the tour for Dutch speakers, which was guided by somebody who was stationed for over 15 years on the Vogelsang IP. He did have a lot of knowledge of the history and also had some great anecdotes from the time he was stationed there.

Very good ship service. You may take a round trip either from Heimbach or Rursee, which is around 12.45 minutes round trip. On board, you have certain menu options to eat and drink l. Toilets are available with enough seating spaces. The ship remains clean, and the staff is friendly and speaks English as well. There are economic parking places available with payment options by cash or card. The tickets of the ship ride can be bought directly at the counter by cash or card.
There are no escalators , and one needs to use either stairs or slope to go down at the dock, which is not a very long distance from the cash counter. There is a restaurant as well as hotel accommodation options available. A lot of walking and hiking spots nearby to explore the town. A road trip by wheeled train motored ride is available as well here to do a small trip through the Heimbach city which people can also do which is good fun as well.

Spending a weekend in this location is a good idea.
Take a boat ride and breathe in the fresh air. Take a round trip and spend an hour and a half in different places in a pleasant park
Good experiance . 1 hour 45 minutes long time though .
Nice boat tour around Rursee.
Terrific place for almost every outdoor activity - boating, hiking, swimming, fishing, cycling - or just to walk along the river or even a relaxing ferry ride. The ferry ride from 'Einruhr' to 'Rurberg' and back was amazing! The tickets for the ride are not so expensive either. You see people playing water sports along the way. There are a few restaurants that have the tables right along the banks and the view from there is just pleasant to the eyes!
We have been here in all seasons. Irrespective of what season it is one can visit here anytime. I'm sure it'll give an amazing experience!
It was an amazing boat trip, we liked it so much
Relaxing on the boat, sipping coffee, while listening to the captain's explanation about the Nationalpark Eifel.
An awesome experience of cruising in the lake

Best historical center (WWII war museum) I have ever seen. Very complete. Pity the movie theater had no airco, this place was damn hot. Enjoy the pictures I took.
Have seen more museums about WWII. Still this is an interesting one, because of an unknown but important confrontation that happened during the Battle of the Bulge, only 200 meters from the location.
There are several personal items to be seen and interesting stories to be heard from soldiers involved in this story.
For app. 1,5 - 2 hrs one can spend a good time learning about these events and more, being guided by an audio tour.
A thoughtful put together private museum shining light on a dark part of human history. I'd gladly visit again.
Well laid out museum with some interesting items on show.25 minute video on the half hour about the Malmedy massacre, with the memorial a short 2 minute walk away at the crossroads.
A great historical place! Excellently done technically! One of the best museums of the Second World War I have visited!Very friendly staff and very good souvenir shop and restaurant!My warm recommendation 🙂
Beautiful museum, similar to December 44 in La Gleize. These two museums are really great. Many thanks.
Great museum, a must visit if you're in the area!

The Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps is a renowned race track that hosts various motorsport events, including the F1 Grand Prix. Visitors can explore three museums within the 18th-century outbuildings, with one dedicated to the nearby circuit. Getting to the venue for events like the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix is made convenient with advice on transportation options such as trains, buses, and driving.
Went for a wonder around as we knew there was an amateur race and wanted to take it in. Felt brilliant to be there, we found a stand to sit in and watched for a few hours. It was a very hot day so grateful it was in the shade. On a track day this would absolutely brilliant. Great to visit a formula 1 track. Staff were easy with us walking around. We couldn't get into any of the main but it wasn't a problem. Found a parking spot near by.

Very beautiful track, historical, nested in the Belgian Ardennes, 100 meters elevation through the track, the wonderful Eau-Rouge uphill, the pines beneath the photo spots...
An unforgettable 5/5 experience for any motorsport fan !
Amazing experience watching F1 Grand Prix at this location. Just remember, there will be traffic if you come by car, so make your timing accordingly. I would recommend to buy fixed seat like at least a silver ticket because bronze tickets have no specific seat and it can be difficult to find a good view point. However, once the race is started, you can enjoy it from anywhere around the circuit. Normally it rains during the event at end of July, so remember to take your protection like raincoats and water resistant shoes. I saw many people are camping at the location which is a better option I would say if possible, to avoid all the traffic.
This legendary and historical circuit is very well kept. Eau Rouge is much steeper than images suggest and lives up to the hype. It's a fantastic wide and fast track. The only lunch available during the trackday was an expensive (but very average) buffet so bring your own.
The overall experience at Spa was really great. The circuit is one of my favorites – high-speed curves, good overtaking spots, and fantastic energy. I stayed at Silver 1, and despite the concrete seating, it's truly a great spot with a wonderful view of Eau Rouge. However, there are some points for improvement:
Come on, Spa organizers! It took four hours to exit the yellow parking lot. This is a shame, and it's been like this for years!
The Silver stands really deserve a cover to protect from the rain.
The fan zone was quite disappointed. There were only simulators, a show car, and tire-changing activities. I was expecting much more.
And during red flags, instead of just having someone trying to hype up the public with random music and basic entertainment, interviews, some curiosities about the circuit and Formula 1, or historic images from the circuit's past would work much better. It was really boring to listen to an hour of random music and watch someone trying to make people have fun.
Overall, it was a good experience, but there are many aspects that the organizers should improve
Fantastic circuit to come & watch the racing, great views from the grandstand of the start/finish line & the pits & podium. Decent array of food & drink available, including free water refill stations. Lots of merchandise available by inside & out of the circuit, although fairly pricey. Biggest negative is getting to & particularly, from the circuit, as the roads are country roads & there's pretty much 1 road in, 1 road out, so long delays, particularly getting away from the circuit. My advice is to arrive as early as possible when coming to the circuit.
Attended the F1 race last weekend. The track is everything I hoped for. The event being put on by F1, not so much. Buying a GA ticket we walked the entire track and had a great time. But all the places with good views for GA tickets had been blocked by black cloth over fencing. Basically trying to force you to buy a much more expensive ticket for a view. Also, the parking was A NIGHTMARE! Quick to take your money and guide you into a spot, but when the race was over, not a single person in sight to help direct traffic. It was everyone for themselves. We sat in a farm field for almost 3 hours trying to leave!
Went on a Ferrari practice day…and it was a little confusing to navigate the venue. We explored until we were told we couldn’t go in the restricted area. Did get up to the podium, restaurant and gift shop. Walked around different areas and it was a fun afternoon!

Best karting I’ve ever been to.
First of all it is a very big indoorkarting circuit with great and modern facilities. It all feels very new and is very clean. Also very friendly staff who will help you with all the questions you have!
The racing itself is amazing. The rental karts feel very new, they all have timing screens on the steering wheel on wich you can see your laptime, sector time, position in qualifying/race, intervaltime/time to next kart etc. They also feel very good and the brakes and tires are so sick. You can break very late and still have grip.
The track is also very well maintained and is a fun and long track.
Definitely coming back here.

Awesome place. Great track, very nice and helpfull Team. If you are close to Eupen, pay them a visit!
Very nice indoor karting that regularly changes their layouts too. Layouts are always very technical, challenging and fun to drive. Karts are very well maintained, they have new ones since October 2024 which are very grippy, good on throttle response and even have a digital display in the steering wheel which shows you laptimes, sector delta's and position. I can only recommend this Karting Experience!
One of the best carting/event centers in the region. Track layout changes +- 2 years and the new high curve is outstanding. Carts are in very good conditions. They even offer a very good to handle timing app where you can even checkin as groups and tracks all races. Pricing gone up the last years but with some discounts its worth it.
In general a nice karting track. It is a little bit louder in the hall, due to the construction and the ground. The ground is not that grippy, but still nice to drive. The side fences are modern style ones, that reduce the impacts very good
Even the center is made for the masses, the track keeps the essence for pro drivers. The track marshalls (several around the track) have radios and handle everything fast + efficient. Blue and yellow flags are waved as needed
But two things that should not happen, happened: On the Kids Kart the belt opened itself 2 times in two different sessions on different karts. Also one time the fuel was entry on the middle of the track.
All over we had a good experience there and will be there again.
Fantastic experience even for younger kids. The place was great the food was great (a little pricey), and everything was very well-maintained. We became big fan of go carts. It cost about €20 for an 18 minute race per person. I would recommend getting there an hour before to suit up and go through orientation.
The real Mecca of indoor karting! Great track, fast and demanding! Complete infrastructure, very helpful and professional staff.
The place to be!
Great karting place!!well organized and welcoming! The kids (and the big kid as well) had a great time!!Higley recommended!!

Bad experience with the hotel that cooperates with this agency. Bathroom was nasty and moldy the employees started cleaning up the kitchen at 1 a.m. so there was little to no sleep. After the short stay of only two days I addressed my concerns to the agency. They didn't care because I didn't file the complains while being on the stay, after explaining that it's been only two days in which I was busy the whole time and didn't have time to call them and wait for their solution they offered a small discount on my next trip with that agency which I declined. They also got pictures of the bathroom with the hotel name on it, didn't care. Since it wasn't even cheaper than some random Airbnb + entry fee into Disneyland I wouldn't recommend it for anyone. Even being on a budget there's much better solutions, since they don't care about the quality of your trip they offer nothing at all in comparison to other solutions.
Never again.
Severly disappointed. Booked for my 46th Birthday (yesterday). After an early miscarriage due to an accident i wasn't able to with my husband and young daughter. All we wanted was a change in Date. C & O Travel wants to force us to buy new tickets. I am with Lufthansa Germany and they were AMAZING.
Everything is possible, If you value people over Money.
Never book tickets to Disneyland via this page!!!!! They will make you to pay just by filling information about you!!!Their terms and conditions are on the other internet page, which are completely against you. I have never experienced anything like that before!
You can purchase well priced Disney tickets. Clear overviews which days discounted tickets are available.

Blegny-Mine
Mentioned on
Sights & Landmarks
Amusement center
Blegny-Mine is a former coal mine turned museum that offers underground tours and exhibits detailing the mining process. Visitors can experience descending into the pitch-black underground world of a 20th-century Belgian miner via a cage lift. The tour includes dressing up in miners' gear and being guided by an ex-miner through original mine elevators, showcasing the harsh realities of mining work. Above ground, there are plenty of family-friendly activities to enjoy.
Absolutely brilliant place for a stop over. You can use the whole car park but if you need electric their is about 5 or 6 spots. Their is water, you can empty your toilet and dispose of rubbish. Their is a bar restaurant with amazing food and lovely staff. We have stayed here 3 times when passing through. Very quiet spot. You can even do a trip down into the mine which is very good.
Lisa S — Google review
If you don't speak the language of the tour you end up just standing around a lot as your audio guide takes 3 min and the tour guide takes 10. But logically you aren't allowed to wander in the mine alone. It was still neat to go down into the mine.
but the miniature golf course sucks.
Visiting the coal mine was an exciting and very informative experience, which we definitely recommend! We were impressed by the atmosphere and history.
However, there's a significant downside: all tours are in Danish, and the English audio guide is extremely brief (about a minute of info). The Danish guide speaks at length and in detail, leaving us waiting and understanding nothing. Most of the tour was spent waiting, which really diminished the experience.
We hope the administration will expand the English options (full tours or a more detailed audio guide). Despite the language barriers, the mine is worth visiting, but be prepared that without Danish, much will remain untold.
We really enjoyed following in the footsteps of miners for our 2hr tour, €16 tour. We had and audio guide but felt we missed out on extra info the guide gave in French. That said, we'd definitely recommend this as something a bit different. Bonus was that we could also stay over night in our camper for free too. Do come if you are in the area.
Very cool place, the tour guide was also very fun
We loved the tour of the mine. Our 4 year old son was tall enough to be allowed to enter and he also really enjoyed the tour. We also enjoyed the the playground, the museum and all the machines that are placed all over the site. The animal park is the least enjoyable thing they have to offer (also a bit out of theme) , but it's still nice for the little ones to see. The hike up the terill is also well worth it.
Stayed in our Motorhome overnight, great safe location with water etc
We went on the mine tour which was very good, a great experience. To enhance the audio tour it would have been nice to have heard some experience of miners who had worked there. Would recommend without hesitation !
Fantastic little mine experience. In person guides only in Flemish or French, but audiobook guide you can use that was informative. 9 euro for entry into the mine.
Bring a coat it's 10 degrees down inside.
You get a tour of the washing/screening plant as well. We took our tour during Corona Virus restrictions and still enjoyed it.
Restaurant could be better - took ages to be served once we were seated.

Military cemetery
Sights & Landmarks
The Netherlands American Cemetery is a serene resting ground for more than 8,000 US military personnel who lost their lives during World War II. The cemetery boasts of statues, a chapel, a tower and a reflecting pool. Families have the option to adopt graves of the fallen soldiers with utmost care and respect since 1944. It is an awe-inspiring experience that leaves visitors humbled by the sacrifices made by these brave soldiers.
What an incredible place to visit. Everything is extremely well organized, clean and beautiful, the museum is small but super informative and beautiful. It is definitely worth visiting this place and learning more about the history of the American soldiers who fought in World War II.

Very poignant and beautifully kept cemetery and memorial.
It really puts so much into perspective when you walk around, the endless rows of white crosses, the beautiful flowers and on some graves the photos of the young heroes who gave their lives, so we can be here today!
You can't help but shed a tear. Very moving indeed.
The visitor centre is also very informative.
Highly recommended for a visit and to pay respects 🙏🏻 🕯
We had the honor of visiting earlier in January. It was the experience of a lifetime as the kind staff offered the ceremonial sanding of our loved one's grave marker. The weather was not good but the folks there accommodated us very graciously. The relatively new visitor center has a lot to offer, exhibits and an informative ~30 minute film on the heroes and the formation of the Cemetery. If I may say so, it is a *must visit* destination for families of fallen war heroes who are buried there. Truly remarkable and unforgettable for me as a relative a fallen hero who lies in honor at Margraten.
Our family’s Veterans Day visit to the Netherlands American Cemetery was incredibly moving and a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by so many. The grounds are beautifully maintained, honoring each fallen hero with the utmost respect. Walking among the rows of white crosses, sharing the stories of bravery with our children, was a truly humbling experience. The cemetery staff were kind and knowledgeable, adding depth to our understanding of the history here. We left feeling deeply grateful and proud, and highly recommend this visit to anyone—especially on Veterans Day.
This cemetery is really interesting and fascinating to visit. Walking on the large, cross-filled fields is such a unique experience, and it reminds you that each of those crosses is a life of someone. Someone who didn't deserve to die, someone whose life could've been so much longer.
As for the state of the cemetery, it's super well maintained and you can see the effort put into it to keep it that way. I personally didn't get the chance to visit the (paid) visitors center, which looks very modern and sleek blender into the green area around it. Though it looks fun as something extra you can do if you have the time.
It's the only American cemetery in the Netherlands (Est. 1945). A place to be quiet in memory of the more than 18.000 American soldiers lost, of which 10010 still here, who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. It's well maintained by people mostly unseen, even the American flag is up every single day. A few battle maps illustrate what happened, the many crosses speak for themselves. An excellent place to remember ourselves, and to show our next generation, it's worth to preserve freedom in honor of those who brought us peace.
If everyone is thinking alike, someone isn’t thinking - General George Patton
They have a really nice set up of the tombs, Americans really know how to give an experience. By the way, its free entry
Recently visited this impressive place. The parking is free and toilets were available. First, you pass the Court of Honor, where all the names of those who were never recovered are inscribed. Some names have a bronze star which means they were were later found. After passing the chapel you enter the cemetery where the numbers of the fallen soldiers are really put into perspective. There is a small visitor center with the stories of those who received the Medal of Honor on display, there is currently a new visitor center under construction. Everything is well attended to. Everything is wheelchair accessible. This place is really worth a visit to pay our respects to those who fought for freedom.

Additionally, visitors can explore the passageways around Montagne de Bueren and discover hidden treasures along the way.
Stairs to heaven, build to allow soldiers easy access from citadel do city. Now integrated within city buildings makes amazing impression around view for city and surroundings. It’s worth to climb 374 steps to look at historic buildings and see a view over a Liege from last 374 step on the top. It’s most visited place in Liege.

This was a really cool bar, right next to the giant steps.
Downstairs you were able to get food, upstairs and outside was just a bar. They had all their own beers on tap as well as some other local breweries.
If the weather is good the garden was a great spot for a drink.
Probably the most impressive flight of stairs I’ve ever seen & climbed to be fair, and I’ve been up more than a few stairs in my time. Needed to catch my breath now & again! Wouldn’t like to be the postman here (yes there are letterboxes) As the signs keep telling you, keep the noise down to respect the local residents.
Montagne de Bueren is one of the most impressive spots in Liège. Climbing all those steps might be a bit of a challenge, but once you reach the top, it’s absolutely worth it. The view over the city is truly breathtaking — especially at sunset, it looks like a painting. Just be careful on the way down… your legs might still think you’re climbing up! 😄🏙️
A nice short work out if you fancy it. Saw a few locals running up and down.
Lovely views along the way if you stop and turn around and it leads to a prominent monument and viewpoint.
Plenty of routes leading on from the top to wander back down or just take the stairs down.
It’s a public pathway so no need to book or buy tickets just walk.
Worth the climb!
Most famous location in liege. Suitable for families to visit.
MUST SEE all the view points after going up hill.
Only disadvantage is for wheel chairs and baby strollers. We will need to carry them with us to the top.
Good exercise with breath taking views up and down the stairs. You can count them as you go to see how many they are
It has around 364 steps, built early as a passage to the city.
You will find amazing views of the Liege city from the top. On reaching the top you will find a hospital and view points

Part of the Thorn village experience. It's a big church with paid entrance which is quite cheap. If you love visiting church or want just a quiet place to pray must visit
What a surprise to find such a beautiful and huge church in such a small village like Thorn. I definitely recommend the visit!
Absolutely beautiful. A must! Rarely seen such a glorious church.
Totally worth the ticket. Inside is really interesting, lots of details and the crypt is impressive
Well presented leaflet in English that explains the exhibits and history of the church. A stunning, double sided carved wooden statue of the Virgin Mary is hanging from the roof.
Beautiful church and what a lovely city!
Beautiful church with history.

Sculpture
Sights & Landmarks
Reading between the Lines” See-through Church is a remarkable steel artwork constructed in 2011, resembling a transparent church and serving as a popular photography spot. Situated in Doorkijkkerk - Reading between the lines, 3840 Borgloon, this attraction is located in the scenic region of Haspengouw in the south of Limburg.
Nice piece of art - can get there by walking or cycling, easy to access, then people can follow the trails to the Twijfelgrens (but not recommend for wet days). There is summer bar close by from April. Great view during sunset.

Original and unique place located in Borgloon. More than the sculpture, this place offers an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Limburgse Haspengouw (landscape dedicated on agriculture, specifically fruit cultivation, on a slightly hilly set up). From there you can discover the region with plenty of beautiful trails between the cultures, meadows and groves.
Be very careful : You can't access directly by car the area ! If you drive on the surrounding agricultural tracks (only for tractors, bicycles, horse riders and pedestrians), you'll break the law and may get a €174+ fine (third-degree infraction). Then, do NOT go through the signs (F99c) obviously indicating the restriction (see picture). Police is patrolling and may intercept you whether driving or being parked. Instead, you can easily reach the place (5 minutes walk) from a parking located nearby on the Sint-Truidersteenweg (see picture). Enjoy !
Nice architecture. Scene around the church is also beautiful. Rural and quiet. There is a pop up bar currently between the parking and the church, where you can have a drink
Beautiful scenery. If you visit early in the morning, you can have it all for yourself and get some nice pics
Happened to come by this piece of art and apparently it's pretty famous? I didn't see anything special about it. We looked at it for 2 minutes and went on with our day. It's a nice place to Picknick though and pick some fruit
This is some art i very much recommend visiting when you are close. It's a bit of a walk to get there but it's worth it! The view, the walk to it, it's all beautiful l. The art it self is unique an fits in beautifully with the nature around it. You can also do a bike tour visiting more art pieces like this.
Nice and small you has to walk about 10 minutes here
Well worth a trip to see. It was a little smaller in reality than I expected- not from any fault of the description- just me- but it is quite amazing to see it and how solid yet see through it can be. The area is so quiet and beautiful to walk through as well. Parking was easy enough for us, but it is only a large lay-by nearby so could easily get busy.

Friendly people, nice location, original locally brewed spirits and beets
Wonderful place to stop at after a lovely walk through the Sint Truiden orchards and year-round to be honest. Lively, picturesque outside terrace and cosy interior. Great beers, of course, and all warm drinks with the added house whisky and eau-de-bière are delicious. Always lovely to come back.
Open on Sunday for those who want to visit a brewery when all others are closed! I have been there twice already. They have good beer and also wide selection of strong drinks like whiskey, rum and gin. The tour on Sunday is at 15.00, I have taken the tour a few years ago and unfortunately it was only in Dutch, but the tour guide was really amiable and translated in English some parts. Maybe they have English tours now, but we did not ask. As we could not stay for so long we just enjoyed their nice chalet style restaurant. We took tapas to share and a crazy choco drink for dessert. Obviously we tried the beer. Tripel Kannunik is really GOOD.
Wonderful indoor and outdoor seating. Beers are award winning and aptly so. Good range of beers available, and at less than $4 (Euro 3.60), which is unbelievable. Outdoor play area for children. Easy bus ride, if you're traveling by train to nearby towns.
Great selection of biers, and delicious food! Super friendly and professional staff, very well managed. Definitely will come back, recommend👍
Park yourself at the tennis club in the back and be amazed by this big brewery.
It has a huge terrace which is always full when good weather, simply because this place is just amazing.
The staff is really friendly, even though they have to serve so much beer greedy people and run 10km in a day.
Brouwerij Wilderen is brewing beer, whiskey and gin. The blond beers, Wilderen Goud and Kannunik are very tasty. There is also a smalls shop where you can buy all different alcohol at democratic prices.
Did not order food here, but looks like they serve good tapas.
Definitely a hotspot to enjoy the good weather!

Walibi Belgium
Mentioned on
Amusement park
Fun & Games
Walibi Belgium is a seasonal amusement park located near Wavre, a city known for its historic castle and natural reserves. The park offers a mix of kids-only attractions, roller coasters, carousels, and an observation wheel. Easily accessible by train or car, the park has been entertaining visitors since 1975 and continues to introduce new thrill rides every few years.
So, we hit up this awesome theme park on Monday, rolling in around 10 am. Parking was super easy to find and cost us 13 bucks per car—not bad at all! Even though we got there pretty early, the place was already buzzing, so my advice? Try to arrive even earlier if you can.
It’s a themed park, and honestly, the vibe is totally unique. Make sure you grab a guide brochure as soon as you walk in—super handy for planning your day. The rides are just amazing; I can’t even pick a favorite, but we ended up riding KONDAA three times—couldn’t get enough!
The restrooms are spotless and kept up really well. Plus, they’re everywhere and even match the theme of each area—super cool touch. When you need a break, the food court’s a great spot. Prices for food and drinks are pretty fair for a place like this, so no complaints there.
Every corner of the park looks fantastic, and I took a ton of photos—couldn’t help myself! The staff were super helpful, and loads of them spoke English, French, or Dutch, so communication was a breeze.
If you want to chill, there are plenty of tables and chairs for picnics, and you’re allowed to bring your own food and drinks, which is awesome. And when it’s time for a ride, there are lockers right there so you can stash your stuff and grab it after—super convenient. Honestly, for what you pay, you get so much out of it. I’d totally recommend bringing your friends or family here for a fun day out. Big thanks to all the Walibi Belgium team for making our visit so memorable!

The waiting times are not that bad when we went on a Saturday, one week after school starts.
The map is easy to understand and navigate.
The bathrooms are everywhere, be easily located and well maintained.
So many food options. AND, they are not that strict with food and drinks! You can bring your own snacks and eat even while queueing.
The only downside we felt was, the very short time of rides… we felt a little unsatisfied for each thrills.
It's a fun theme park with lots of different rides and things to do for all ages. The themes are executed well and everything looks very clean.
I do recommend you skip the werewolf and vampire rollercoasters as you're more likely to get out of those two with some injury than without.
Some of the staff look and act like they don't give a ..., which is a bummer and takes away from the fact that overall, you can enjoy quite a nice day here.
So proud that this is mine home park.
Can recomend i try to visit as often as possible. Sadly its only weekend based operations but still it is the best park in Belgium. Best is to start with Mecalodon and from there go to Kondaa and then rest of the park. Warning the park gets crowded on haloween but christmass is suoer empty
I must say that in last two weeks we were at 6 different parks in NL and BE. But this one is from today my favorite? On app that you download for free you can see waiting time on all attractions. Food is delicious and not expensive! Also waiting time is or at least was not more then 35min at that was only on one attraction. So easy can go on other one and wait just 5min. Personal is very nice. What i also must mention is the environment, the places are very nicely managed and create perfect atmosfere.
Terrible experience. You already pay extra for the Halloween edition (€57), and once inside, the haunted houses cost even more (€8,50).
There was one haunted house free, but when we wanted to queue for it, we were told it had closed at 20:30, even though it stayed open until 22h. When we asked why, we were told, “It’s closed, can’t you see that?” with no explanation given.
The food was also extremely overpriced: €9 for a dry sandwich and €6 for six tiny churros. The waiting times were even worse. Some rides had queues of more than 1.5 hours, and two attractions were out of order.
To make matters worse, there were very few “freaks” or actors in costume. Only four zones had scare actors walking around, while the rest of the park there weren't. They could have done this so much better.
And don’t forget the €13 parking fee at the end of the day!
It was a disastrous day, definitely not recommended, and it will be the last time we visit. Please reduce the park’s capacity, that would make the experience much more enjoyable for everyone.
Fantastic place! You can experience a lot of emotions and a huge adrenaline rush there. A place with attractions for both adults and children from 90 cm tall 😀. I recommend it.
The park was amazing. All the attractions were really good and fun. My favourite one is the Konda. I suggest to go there early(11AM)so you should not wait a lot for the best rides and then spend the whole day there.

The indoor facility boasts glass roofs, housing attractions such as a relaxation pool with massage jets, Laguna Verde heated to 36C with accompanying jacuzzis, and thrilling slides suitable for all ages. Visitors can enjoy river rapids and periodic waves in the main pool.
Here my detailed review:
Entry fee & Parking:
Parking is shared with walibi theme park. 13€ is kinda expensive but if you pay parking at the Aqualibi desk, its only 11€.
The entry fee for Aqualibi is around 35€ which is ok but also not cheap but on the limit. Sadly there is no combi ticket together with the theme park.
Also a chip wristband paying system could be useful, so you dont have to bring a wallet to the pool bar.
Since Aqualibi is open till 10pm, it offers a nice additional experience after spending a day at Walibi, which closes already at 6pm. I entered Aqualibi at 5pm. The crowds were mid and only the new slides had some waiting.
Changing rooms:
The changing rooms are clean, its also unisex. Lockers are fine and are NO upcharge.
Also note their clothing policy, they dont allow shorts.
Pools:
The main pool area is themed to some degree and features some rockwork. It has a medium sized wave pool, which can be pretty packed. The waves were only turning on once in the 2,5 hours I was there.
There is also a nice relaxing Lagoon with some whirlpools.
Kids play areas are right next to the Lagoon.
For the ambient temperature it was kinda chilly at some spots (outdoors it was 20°C) with lots of AC running. The water temperature was just right. The cleanliness in the pools was not so great but thats usual if there is lots of people.
Slides:
So this is the park's main focus. The dome with the wave pool offers some slides (these are the older ones). Here you have some chill tire slides (like Bi-bob) but also some faster slides like Flash and Extreme (this one has a nasty direction change where you almost flip over).
Next to the lagoon, there is the very well themed Rapido river slide. This one is lots of fun with much variation and even features a "disco" cave. Its a very chaotic and wild slide. Only minus is that they dont regulate how many people are on the Rapido, I felt like being in a "people avalanche" where you constantly bump into others or they bump into you.
For the new slides, you had to wait a bit (max. 10-15min). You wait at the bottom to get a tire and then walk up to the slide's start. The slide with the bowl and with the half pipe were very popular, fun and exciting.
The slides where you lie belly down on a mat are also fun but not as fast and exciting.
The banzai slides (featuring 2 uphill passages) was nice but way too short and kinda slow. Cool idea but not as exciting as the others. Also not that banzai requires 2 people on a tire/boat, if you are below 68kg.
After around 6pm the waits dropped significantly to even zero on most slides. (Was there on a friday)
For me 3h were enough to have a good time and experience everything and doing multiple laps on the slides.
Verdict:
++ slide selection
++ great in the evening after being at Walibi
+ theming, especially on rapido
+ free lockers
~ mid cleanliness
~ pricing not cheap but also not expensive
~ no chip payment wristbands

Decent Fun, But Major Downsides
I visited Aqualibi recently and while the slides and attractions themselves were enjoyable, several important issues affected the overall experience.
Firstly, there was no proper ventilation or fresh air inside the building. It felt stuffy and uncomfortable, especially after spending more time in the pool areas. It’s a water park – fresh air is essential.
Waiting times were also a big downside. We had to stand in line far too long for most slides, which really took away from the fun. The park was crowded, but queue management could definitely be improved.
When it comes to food, the quality does not match the price at all. It’s overpriced for what you get – both in taste and portion size.
Finally, there was too much chlorine in the water. It irritated the eyes and skin, and the smell was overwhelming in certain areas.
Aqualibi has potential, but unless some of these issues are addressed, I’m not sure I’d rush to return.
Wost experience ever.. worst business model of grabbing the money in selling their own shorts.. answer given was hygienic reasons.. absolutely not acceptable. Might write it on linked in and tag his CEO. Most of the members dont speak English.. wost ever experience
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had an amazing day at Aqualibi Brussels! The kids had the best time — it’s a wonderfully fun and safe place to enjoy with family and friends, including young children right from toddler age. The facilities are well kept, the atmosphere is lively, and there’s plenty for everyone to enjoy, no matter the age group.
One small suggestion: while the swimming costume policy is understandable and important for everyone’s safety and hygiene, it would be very helpful if this information was highlighted more clearly when purchasing tickets online. That way, guests can be fully prepared and avoid any confusion or disappointment upon arrival.
Overall, a fantastic experience and we are already looking forward to visiting again soon!
Recently visited Aqualibi on weekday around 1pm.
It was too crowded due to sunny day (probably) and waited more than hour outside entrance.
Considering dress code requirement , they need tight shorts for men and length should be above knee for dames. If you don’t have already so they force to buy from premises at much higher price, for instance men shorts priced 17.90€
talking about inner atmosphere, it’s quite ok.
There are 4 news water slides which are quite fast and thrilling experience. Others slides are not that fast but quite good to enjoy.
There are pools and slides for kids less than 1.20m height which is also quite nice.
Parking is 11€ for day , can be bought from ticket counter.
Lockers are included with ticket pass and also handy.
Good shower facility available , but you must have own shampoo/soap :)
Overall satisfied with managing staff and Experience.
We had a fantastic visit to Aqualibi with our family (two kids). The facilities were clean, everything was well organized, and the staff was very helpful. The food options were perfect for a quick lunch—although a bit pricey (€15 for adults, €10 for kids).
Buying tickets online, including parking, was super easy. Even though the park was quite busy, it’s spacious enough that it never felt overcrowded. A small tip for visitors: check the swimwear rules in advance—I bought fitted swim shorts for my husband beforehand, and everything went smoothly.
Overall, a wonderful day out. We’ll definitely be coming back! 👍🏻
We chose to be here on Thursday to skip the queue. It is good to read the information from the website before you arrive. The swimsuit has its own criteria: it should be tight-fitting for the man. Otherwise, you have to buy one from them. Some items, such as Rapido, are easy to get stuck in if you have loose-fitting swimming trunks. Most items require a minimum height of 120 cm. It is really cool for both kids and adults to ride Rapido and Waikiki. My son is 8 years old. I recommend that an 8-year-old child rides Waikiki with an adult.
Some great slides and pools. The rapids were ferocious but fun, just make sure your kids can swim enough or use the life jackets! Kids were gone for an hour or two at a time and made it out alive!
