View of the Terrils and Lake in Hoge Kempen National Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

Another beautiful view from around the lake. Behind you, over the small hill, lies the cemetery of Eisden-Tuinwijk. A little further on there is an entrance and exit.

View from Tweelingterril

Highlight • Viewpoint

"Tweelings" means twins. And indeed, at this place two very close slagheaps have adjacent slopes which meet like Siamese twins. The climb is steep but the view from the top (127 meters) is definitely worth it.

November 30, 2024,Terhills - Hoge Kempen

Today we wanted to take a look at the (for us) new path (floating bridge) "over the water".
The bridge is located in the former mining and gravel mining area of Terhills, in the Hoge Kempen National Park. 2 slag heaps and a lake are on the (partly very muddy) path.
From the free parking lot at the outlet center, …

Beautiful varied walking route at Terhills! The route is marked with red shields and if you walk it clockwise (like me) you have covered all the altitude in the first 6 km. Then you can walk out with a beautiful view of the lake ;)
Please note: wear shoes with a sturdy profile, because the climbs and descents on the …

📍 Terhills in Belgium. 🇧🇪

Fortunately, the temperatures aren't so subtropical anymore, so today we decided to dig out our hiking boots again.🌡 Our "Kuilkleummobile" took us to Terhills, near Maasmechelen. 🚗 The red route had been on our wish list for a while. 🔴 So guess which route we chose today... 😜

April 24, 2026,🇧🇪 Nationalpark Hoge Kempen - Maasmechelen - Belgien

We leave the hustle and bustle of the Maasmechelen Village shopping mile behind us and suddenly find ourselves in front of the gigantic mine towers. It's a fascinating contrast: just moments ago modern shop windows, now the raw history of mining. We pass the visitor center and enter the Terhills area. The paths are wide, the air immediately feels fresher, …

Unexpectedly beautiful walk through a surprisingly beautiful area. Beautiful to see how an old mining area can be transformed so beautifully into a beautiful nature reserve. The floating bridge through the water is an experience in itself 🥾🍀🥰
