The Crachet slag heap is a Site of Great Biological Interest (SGIB). It is also part of the Natura 2000 network to protect its exceptional fauna and flora. Located a stone's throw from the SPARKOH science museum! (former PASS), the slag heap is a fabulous educational tool which regularly welcomes school visits but also families looking for calm and nature. Thanks to its marked and well-equipped paths with stairs, small bridges, duckboards and ropes, its ascent is easy despite a difference in altitude of around 70 m. Relatively wooded, the Crachet sometimes gives way to magnificent grassy wastelands and a few ponds which encourage the development of great biodiversity. Its summit, located at an altitude of 140 m, offers a beautiful panoramic view of the Borinage slag heap range as well as the SPARKOH! site, built by the architect Jean Nouvel. In this place, the ground is adorned with red and black. Smoke can even be observed in certain places because the heap is still burning more than 60 years after the closure of the site.

This is a summit climb. Especially on the adventurous side. There are ropes there to hoist you up. The other side is a nice wide walking path. In my opinion, the most beautiful slag heap on the GR 412.
