A great family friendly barefoot path, including a motricity park and the possibility to have a nice meal at the end at the Camping restaurant Kengert. All the information you need about this path is here.
One of my family’s absolute favourite barefoot paths is the one in Dudelange. Located in park Le’h, it has 19 stations, which I believe makes it the biggest in the country.
It is super fun and my children absolutely love it. We had so much fun the first time we were there taking a lot of photos and enjoying the sensation.
There are also other nice things to do in the area, like nice playgrounds, Park Le’h adventure park and a nice restaurant.
For more information look here.
