We saddle up at be-MINE at the former Beringen mine. Where once miners extracted coal from the ground for decades, a veritable nature reserve has now been created with hills and bushes. The old slag heaps offer impressive viewpoints with wide views.

For children, the Adventure Mountain is on the other heap of be-MINE, where children reach the top via giant stairs, a ropes course, climbing structures and crawling tunnels. If you want to know more about the arduous work in the Limburg mines, you can visit the Mining Museum.

Mountain bikers ride on the Beringen spoil heap, and this well-paved cycle path runs next door. There is often a lot going on here on nice weekends. At the restored mine there is not only a shopping center, but also a museum, a restaurant and a diving center.

The mine slag heap in Koersel of the Beringen mine for malt bikers.
Camper ban on the visitor's parking. Adventure mountain for older children a little less, not much to do outside the mine museum.
