Hiking

be-MINE is the name for the renewed coal mine site of Beringen-Mijn. The renovation and repurposing is not quite finished yet. For example, work is being done on the second shaft and there are still a few buildings to go. In November 2022, a renewed permit application was also made for an allotment project on the site and an environmental permit was also applied for for the be-NATURE project. "That is a project for part of the former mining site, namely at the coal washing plants." You can read more about that last larger project here: vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2022/11/21/be-mine-vraagt-milieustarieven-aan-voor-be-nature

Be-MINE, the mining site in Beringen, 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.
