In Fond-de-Gras, explore an old iron mine by mine train and hear ghost stories of miners.

From there, continue to Belval, the modern “City of Science” built atop Luxembourg’s last blast furnaces. These colossal towers once melted thousands of tons of ore daily, powering steel revolution. Today, Blast Furnace A stands as a monument — climb 180 steps to a 40-meter platform with breathtaking views of the site.
