The walking path on the Beringen mine spoil tip

Once a waste mountain of accumulated stones, this is now a hill with alternating woodland and open spaces.

Here, you enjoy a magnificent view over the be-MINE site, the cathedral and the garden district, but you can also see the slag heaps of other mine sites. In the distance, you can also spot today's destination: Zolder slag heap and mine site!
