Among the numerous slag heaps, the one at Héribus in Cuesmes is definitely worth a visit. Your calves will have known it, but what a walk!

An exceptional slag heap with steep but well-equipped paths. With a point of view remarkably highlighted at the top.

If you've been dreaming of climbing a slag heap all your life, go to the Héribus slag heap... It was the last mine in the Borinage that opened its doors (1918) only to close them 50 years later. Nothing remains of the factory chimneys and shaft trestles. Below you can see a concrete transport tower. The slag heap – 138 meters high – is a beautiful piece of nature. Several hiking trails lead to the top. First you stroll between the birch trees. Then the color of the soil changes and it becomes increasingly spicy. Only do the walk with sturdy footwear and preferably not alone. Above, a coal car rests on a rusted rail. You have a 360° view of the surroundings. The belfry of Mons and the boat lift of Strépy-Thieu are at your feet. A nice spot to relax or have a picnic. If you get hot, it's not just because of the effort. The coal remains still radiate heat. Insiders claim that the temperature in a slag heap can reach up to 2,000° C and that - after digging a well - you can boil an egg there without blinking.
