Attention fairy tale fans: As part of the ‘Week for German’ at the library Het Predikheren in Mechelen on Friday, October 10, 2025 from 4.00 to 5.00 p.m., you will be offered a merry fairy tale hour. To mark the 50th anniversary of the “Märchenstrasse”, the German Embassy of Brussels and the German National Tourist Board DZT are inviting all fairy tale fans aged 4 and over, together with their parents, to discover the wonderful and mysterious places along the German Fairy Tale Route from Hanau to Bremen. One hour of fairy-tale time in the library, where we will listen to some fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm, give the grown-ups great travel tips for magical family experiences along the 600 km fairy tale route and make fairy tale crafts with the children. The library has a treasure trove of fairy tale books just waiting to be borrowed and read. Participation is free, you can register via the library’s website : https://hetpredikheren.mechelen.be/50-jaar-duitse-sprookjesroute
