In these windows, you will find 'Meuse Creatures'.Meuse Creatures are fantasy animals, crafted by students of the Weiert (primary school of Arcen), which they imagine could live in the Meuse River.The 38 windows hiding the Meuse Creatures form a walking route, a kind of treasure hunt, that children and families can walk this summer and early autumn.Behind the windows of the Inaborgh, you will find Mermaid Fish Lizzy and Blobfish Jan, our Meuse Creatures. They will remain there until October 25.You can find the complete route via this link: Â Maaswerken | Visit Noord-Limburg

A new unique concept: try to find out in teams of up to six people who the culprit is. Make sure you ask the suspects the right questions! A kind of Cluedo and Escape Room in one. The game is an evening-filling event and at least one team member must have a smartphone. Do you dare to take the challenge?The evening includes snacks (appetizers, not a full meal) and excludes drinks.Payment can be made per table.No discounts are valid at Murder in Maaspoort.
