Discover the industrial and natural heritage of the Minett Park Fond-de-Gras with CFL. From Pétange, the historic Train 1900 takes you along a former mining railway line straight to the heart of the Fond-de-Gras site.

An Open-Air Museum

The Minett Park is a vast open‑air museum dedicated to iron ore mining, offering visitors an immersive journey through time. Until the 1960s, Fond-de-Gras was one of Luxembourg’s most important mining sites and played a key role in the country’s industrial development.

A Journey on the “Minièresbunn” Mining Train

One of the highlights of the visit is a ride on the “Minièresbunn” mining train towards Lasauvage. The route leads through original tunnels once used by wagons transporting iron ore.

The museums of Lasauvage deepen the experience, providing fascinating insights into the village’s past and the daily lives of the miners.
