A headframe is a construction mounted above a mine shaft, which is used in coal mines for the transport of miners, material and coal. Shaft trestles are visual landmarks in the landscape due to the rotating wheels.
The Winterslag coal mine was one of the seven mines of the Kempen coal basin in the Genk district of Winterslag.

A beautifully preserved industrial monument with various restaurants, impressive mine shafts, and a fantastic labyrinth.

The headframes have something frightening about them.
