You look at the former gravel quarry "Mechelse Heide Noord", where mountain gravel was extracted until 2017 as a raw material for the application of building materials. After gravel extraction had ended, the area was redeveloped in a scenic way by the Restructuring Committee (now the Gravel Committee) before returning it to nature. The area was also provided with the necessary recreational facilities such as stair structures and benches.
