The mission: Your story in Nijmegen
You might vaguely know her story, but today you will truly live what she once lived.
To do so, you will need to step back in time, into the Middle Ages. As you approach the old city wall, the world around you begins to change. Outside the walls, the land is quiet, with only a few buildings. People walk past you. Some are travelling, others stop to chat.
Can you find Mariken? She is somewhere near the wall.
