Children's treasure hunt through Woudrichem

New from Sept. 14:
Interactive children's treasure hunt through historic Woudrichem

Mayor through time machine

New for children visiting Woudrichem: an interactive walking and scavenger hunt through the historic fortified town. Scan the QR codes on the signs and walk through the entire fortified town. Especially for this tour, former mayor Peer Verhagen came with a time travel from 1925 and shows the children his "Woerkum. During the tour he tells all kinds of things about the interesting buildings, defenses and history of the fortified town.

QRfgoed puts heritage in the spotlight

The children's walking tour is part of QRfgoed: cultural heritage in the spotlight thanks to QR codes at attractions and special places. The codes provide access to background information or interactive routes. The children's walking tour is the first delivered project of QRfgoed in the municipality of Altena. VVV Biesboschlinie is responsible for implementing the projects. There will also be QR codes with background information at the mills of Altena, good to visit by bicycle, and at the starting points of boating tours in the Biesbosch. These are expected to go "live" in February and May 2025.

Past and present hand in hand

Councilwoman Anneloes van Hunnik is pleased with the new children's walking tour. "With this new route for children, we make the past and the stories of the past understandable for everyone. This tour is an experience that brings history back to life so we can celebrate our special heritage."

This interactive children's walking tour came about thanks to contributions from Municipality of Altena, Erfgoed Altena and Pact of Loevestein, Hollandse Waterlinies.
