Luxembourg is known today for its banks and castles, yet its true rise began with steel. This day journey reveals the country’s industrial heart, where metallurgists once forged the Grand Duchy’s future.
Your adventure begins in Rumelange, at the National Mining Museum, where a small train carries you deep underground into the iron mines. Learn why red ore gave Luxembourg its nickname — the Land of Red Earth.
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.
Your guide shares how companies like ARBED and ArcelorMittal transformed iron into national wealth — and how the fire of innovation still shapes Luxembourg’s prosperity.
