„De Ris geet op d’Rees“ interactive adventure trail
A creative Giant trail through the municipality that can be experienced in the long term.
Join the Giant on his journey!
We take a very close look at the stations in the municipality of Bettembourg, where Lucien Czuga and Andy Genen send the Giant on its journey in the comic. The aim is to recreate the journey in reality and thus give the reader the opportunity to experience the trail live.
Visit us in Bettembourg, experience the Giant’s journey and discover various works of art that take up relevant scenes from the comic and have been transferred into the real world throughout the municipality.
This map shows the path that the Giant takes through Bettembourg with his friend, Lori the parrot.
Due to construction work at the Hammerel Bridge and its surroundings, diversions have been set up around Parc Jacquinot and Bettembourg train station.
Please follow the signage.
Great impressions in the photo gallery.
We are looking forward to seeing you! ☺

The song of the Giant
Did you know that the Giant has his own song?
Sing it with us, whether on the adventure trail, with friends or at home.
The Giant invites you to sing along to the song written by Al Ginter.
A real catchy tune! ☺
The Bettemburg comic strip with Luxembourg’s greatest hero
Text: Lucien Czuga
Illustrator: Andy Genen
Everyone knows the most famous inhabitant of Bettemburg.
He is almost 10 meters tall and lives in the fairy tale park.
Yes, that’s right, it’s the giant. The colossus with the red cap, the long brown boots, the light blue sweater and the checkered pants. He is the trademark of the « Parc Merveilleux », which was opened in 1955.
The new comic strip « In the giant’s footsteps » was created around this striking figure as part of « ESCH2022 – European Capital of Culture » based on an idea from the ASBL « Les Trésors de la BD ».
The comic is available in three languages (LU, FR, EN) in stores, as well as in the Parc Merveilleux and in the social bookshop « de Bicherkueb », rue de la Gare, Bettemburg.
