An explorer of our region:
Freerunner Lynn Jung jumps from nature to cities to industry
Whether it’s a disused blast furnace, ruins or a monument in the city centre: for Lynn Jung, the whole region in southern Luxembourg is one big playground. She is one of the parkour scene’s leading female athletes worldwide and born an raised in Luxembourg.
In the interview, she not only reveals where she likes to climb, but also shows the places where she comes to relax. If you want to see Lynn in action at the respective places, you can take a look at the Youtube video.

What do you expect from #Esch2022?
I really hope that Esch2022 is going to bring out, or make visible, sports, maybe, that aren’t as popular yet, and street art in general. Once people see that those sports exist and those cultures, subcultures, exist, people get interested in them, and it gets promoted more. There will be a lot of art, a lot of exhibitions,
music, people coming together, which is always exciting. It’s something I’m looking forward to and I really hope that a lot of
people are going to come from within the country, but also from abroad, just to see what’s happening and enjoy the experience.
Which places are the best for Parkour in the South of Luxembourg?
For me, the perfect place to train Parkour is Belval for many reasons. Every time
I come here, the architecture has changed. Thereare new buildings, there are new places to explore and to just play around and find new lines and routes. The old buildings still remain with new architecture. It’s a very aesthetically pleasing place to be in. I think that, altogether, makes the place really special. Other than that everyone should visit Belval because of the new university and the really good food places. Also I have to point out that the Château Fort Le Mont-Saint-Jean is really parkour heaven. There are a lot of ruins to jump, climb and do stuff.
Even if you are not in parkour it’s a cool place to visit!

What are your favourite places in the South of Luxembourg?
Even when you’re somewhere in a city, you’re always close
by a forest, but then when you go into the city, there’s so much happening. It’s such a multicultural place with loads of new
businesses popping up left and right, and I really enjoy that.
