Journey through the rich mining past

You start at the spectacular dive and snorkel center TODI and hike through the heart of the old mining grounds. Admire the mighty headframes and historic mine buildings, many of which have been repurposed with respect for their heritage value. This unique mix of history and modern recreation makes the Be-MINE site a real hotspot.

Climb to breathtaking views

A challenging climb to the top of the spoil tip is rewarded with a spectacular view. On clear days, you can see not only the entire mining site but also the spoil tips and headframes of the mines of Heusden, Winterslag, Waterschei, and Eisden. To the east stretches the green Valley of the Black Creek, surrounded by vast woodlands.

Alongside all this action, nature has also found its place here. The large spoil tip, managed by the Agency for Nature and Forestry, is now a special green hill with forests and open plains, perfect for unique nature development.
