Walk through medieval Nijmegen as seen by Mariken, a curious and rebellious girl from a famous miracle play from around 1500. You will climb old staircases, pass through hidden gates and stand before buildings that have stood for centuries. Along the way you will see the world as she did, torn between right and wrong, faith and freedom. This is not just a walk through the city. It is a walk through her story.

Storyline

“They say I strayed.” She shrugs, as if the rumours don’t bother her. “That I fell. But listen… those who never stray, never discover. I’m Mariken, and I’ll take you through medieval Nijmegen: full of churches, secrets and danger.” 
Mariken glances over her shoulder, just to check if you’re still with her. “My story became a miracle play, famous and infamous. But what truly happened? I’ll tell you myself. This is no gentle stroll. This is my truth. And you’re walking with me. If you dare.”
