Bathing in Kelmis like once Napoleon did
A very special highlight is our original wood-burning Dutchtub outdoor
bathtub. Start an adventure with the Dutchtub Original and experience
the luxury of an outdoor bathtub. The tub is wood-fired and only uses natural warmth circulation
In his bestseller “No man’s land” (Niemands Land) Dutch author Philip Dröge tells about a particular quirk of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte : the commander took the unique bathtub with him anywhere on
expedition and thus also brought it into our region in the 19th century. The tub, able to hold its water
temperature for hours, was offered to Napoleon by its Inventor, Jean-Jacques Daniel Dony, originating from Liège.
