Left or right?

The journey from the rancho of the Gonzales family at Punta Boca del Salado to the city of La Paz, Baja California, Mexico, is with the Fuso Szulc approximately 5 hours.

But traveling together with the Queen of Dreams, it is a most pleasant trip.

This was partly achieved by a riddle she presented at the beginning of the long journey.
A riddle so complicated that it took many hours of deep thinking to come up with the solution.
A solution that turned out to be correct.
To the surprise of the Queen of Dreams, because all her friends she had presented this riddle with had been unable to come up with the correct answer.
Not her driver though!

It is a known fact that most of the fervent and loyal blog readers shine with brilliancy.
This riddle will be for them an easy thing to solve.
It goes like this:

A man is walking already the whole day.
Trying to reach the town of Jensenburg.
He is tired and it is getting dark.
But more scary is that he has lost his way.
But fortunately he reaches a T-section of the road and he sees a small house.

He knocks on the door to ask the people living there if he has to turn left or right to reach Jensenburg.
A guy opens the door and lets him in.
There are two brothers living in the little house.
Who immediately tell that one of them always tells the truth and that the other always lies.

The riddle is: what must the traveler ask the brothers to find out to turn left or right to reach Jensenburg?
One question, fervent and loyal blog readers, will give from both brothers the same answer.
For the traveler to know whether to turn left or right and reach Jensenburg.

If you know what that question is, send it in as a comment and prove that the driver of the Fuso Szulc should not think anymore he is so smart.

Ask both brothers what the other would say and do the opposite.

Ask either of them "What will the other guy say?" and then do the opposite!
