About this quest

Step into medieval Nijmegen, seen through Mariken’s eyes. Her story was already told around 1500 in a famous miracle play. Now you walk through that story yourself. You climb narrow steps, search for hidden gates and stand before buildings that have watched over the city for centuries. Along the way, you follow Mariken through doubt, temptation and hope. This is no ordinary walk. This is Mariken’s story, in the heart of Nijmegen. 

Highlights

  • Experience a medieval miracle play as if you are part of it

  • Follow in Mariken’s footsteps through the oldest parts of Nijmegen

  • Discover ruins, chapels and towers from the fifteenth century

  • Visit buildings that still look just as they did in Mariken’s time

The mission: Your story in Nijmegen

Today you are going to meet Mariken. Mariken van Nieumeghen. You may know her story a little already, but today you will truly experience what she went through. To do that, you need to take a step back in time, to the Middle Ages. 

As soon as you approach the old city wall, the world around you begins to change. Outside the walls, it is quiet, with only a few buildings. People are walking around. Some are on their way, others are chatting. Can you find Mariken? She is somewhere near the wall. 

Good to know before you play
