Forest cycle path near Beringen

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Wow, what a wonderful ride on this smooth cycle path! The dense forests lean over this cycle path, so that you cycle right through the trees. Especially beautiful in the fall, when the leaves turn gold and red.

be-MINE — Beringen Coal Mine Site

Highlight • Historical Site

The mining site in Beringen, be-MINE, is the best preserved and largest industrial heritage site in Flanders. At the foot of two slag heaps, the past is brought together with a completely new interpretation of the area.

Heusden-Zolder Coal Mine

Highlight • Historical Site

New companies have now come to the old mine site and former offices, this is called reconversion or conversion.
The former bathroom or lavoir is now home to the Centre for Sustainable Building (CeDuBo), where anyone with building plans can go for advice.
The Ophaalmachineggebouw was restored. The CVO De Verdieping was integrated at the back. The Cultuurcentrum Muze was incorporated to the side and the central compressor hall housed ZLDR Luchtfabriek, a visitors centre about the mining past with party facilities between enormous compressors.
As in the past, there is still a 'multicultural' market on the newly constructed square every 2nd and 4th Wednesday, the former paydays of the miners, popularly known as the Turkenmarkt.
