Parts of Flanders look back on a long history as mining regions. The city of Genk in the province of Limburg has always been one of the most important industrial sites. There, the important era of coal mining is preserved for future generations in the "C-Mine" complex. Otherwise, the remains of the facility are now primarily used by cultural institutions.
Since July 2, the C-Mine has been offering a very special expedition into the world of the miners: visitors can immerse themselves in the working world and all its hardships in an authentic underground environment with the help of a virtual reality tour. This unique journey back in time to the 1950s is made possible with the help of a helmet and goggles. It is enriched with numerous anecdotes from the miners' lives.

Today you can go on an expedition to the former mining site (adults €10), visit a labyrinth and much more.
If the parking space is not sufficient, there is also a free parking garage available.

Headframes and winding towers were used to transport the coal and the miners. This example dates from 1963. The frame was built over the old structure, which explains the difference in height. Interesting fact: The Winterslag coal mine houses both the oldest headframe (1915) and the newest (1963) in the Kempen coal basin. The view from the newest winding tower is truly worth the climb!
