Cycling Between the Mine Heaps Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
The shape of the bridge is inspired by the so-called golden ratio or Fibonacci spiral. The price of the whole was kept lower than versions with prestressed concrete by working with floating pontoons: 28 concrete containers that are filled with insulation, are hinged together and held in place by 26-meter-long tubular piles, according to bouwkroniek.be/openbare-ruimte-infra/ingenieuze-pontons-slingeren-sierlijk-tussen-mijnterrils-51497
It remains to be seen whether more cyclists or walkers will now use the bridge that opened in the fall of 2024. My impression is that the bridge is mainly walked on with the resort as an important factor. The focus on cycling can probably be explained by the fact that the bridge is the final part of a cycle connection between Terhills and the small station of As.
In any case: the bridge has supporters and opponents, is of course quite impressive to walk on and also from the slag heaps it is a special view. According to some a beautiful view and for others an additional disruption of what was increasingly becoming a beautiful natural view of the former mining sites.
Due to the wet weather the bridge was built with a few months delay. The cost was also a lot higher than expected.

You can climb up the headframe of the former hard coal mine in Eisden. – After all, the height here is twelve meters! On the ground floor you can get an impression of the past of this mine in a photo exhibition.

View of the Lake
Highlight • Viewpoint
A small, pebble-covered stretch that, like a beach, lies low and merges into the lake. To enjoy this, a section has been set aside with a few benches, where many visitors admire the view over the water, soak up the relative peace and quiet, and enjoy a romantic moment. During the day and during holiday periods, it's also a popular spot for walkers and families with children, because water is simply great fun. Note: to get there, you cross a small road that leads from the wellness entrance to the spa. Enjoy!
