The path zigzags up/down and runs along both sides of the slag heap. This gives you a view of the entire area, especially in clear weather.

Before walking to the top of the slag heap or doing a lap on the summit platform, you can flank the ascent and descent and discover new viewpoints every time, in all seasons, times of day and weather conditions.

The path winds steadily upwards along the slag heap here, and on clear days the views are definitely worth the effort.

Beringen mine spoil heap is a nature reserve on the territory of Koersel (part of Beringen) and is located on Terril number 2 of the former Beringen coal mine. Between 1941 and 1949, 11,600,000 m³ of stone was dumped here. Beringen mine spoil heap is owned by the Agency for Nature and Forests.
The mine was closed in 1989 and the spoil heap was cleaned up in 1995. Herbs were sown and the whole was made accessible to the public. At a height of 125 m, 100 m above the surroundings, there is a plateau from which one has a view of the surroundings.
The birds include the skylark, tree pipit, meadow pipit and lapwing. The queen page and the blue-winged grasshopper are some of the rare insects that occur in the area.
