About this experience

Are you planning a day out or weekend trip to Winterswijk, then you can have a lot of fun with this city walk. An Escape game and city walk at the same time. 2,5 kilometres long and over 1,5 - 2 hours of fun for the family or a group of friends.

Meanwhile, during this game there is plenty of time to sit on one of the terraces. A city walk has never been so much fun. An app will help you with your quest during the city walk.

The Wiseman of Winterswijk pretends to be a clergyman, so many people trust him. And if they are not careful for a moment he steals from them. Nobody knows where he is now, neither do the police. Many people have seen him, but don't want to talk about it. Unless you help them with their questions.

The Escape the city game

Detailed itinerary

Planning a city walk in the centre of Winterswijk? Then the 'escape the city' game will ensure that the city walk will be one to remember.

About 1,5 - 2 hours and 2,5 km further on, you will not only have seen the most beautiful spots of the city during this city walk in Winterswijk, but you will also have done the local police a favour by finding one of the city's biggest criminals... The Wiseman of Winterswijk.

The trail naturally leads along the 20 most beautiful and surprising places in Winterswijk.

With this Escape the City Tour you will see the highlights of Winterswijk. A few you can see below.

Freedom Park in Winterswijk is located on the site of the old town hall and has been transformed into a green, pedestrian-friendly space with lawns, gardens, and plazas. It features a water-play area with a large boulder and a 4.5-meter wooden eagle-owl sculpture, creating a fun and symbolic spot for children and the community. The park also hosts events like the annual Freedom Festival on May 5, celebrating liberty with music and cross-border traditions.

The Jacobskerk in Winterswijk is a striking Gothic church standing at the heart of the town's market square, built between the 15th and 16th centuries on the site of an earlier medieval church. Dedicated to St. James the Greater, its soaring 57‑metre tower and richly painted interior—complete with medieval frescoes and a historic Naber/Metzler organ—reflect both its spiritual symbol for pilgrims and its cultural heritage. Today the church remains active as a Protestant place of worship, concert venue, wedding location, and peaceful retreat open to both worshippers and visitors.

Museum Villa Mondriaan in Winterswijk is housed in the childhood home of Piet Mondriaan, where he lived from ages 8 to 20 and first discovered his passion for drawing and painting. The museum showcases a permanent collection of his early works alongside art by his teachers and contemporary artists, with thematic exhibitions that change every six months. Opened in 2013 after combining the historic villa with a modern extension and supported by the Kunstmuseum Den Haag through long-term loans, it offers free audio tours, interactive elements, a children’s treasure hunt, and an on-site café.
