    Hiking

    "Cycling between the Mine Terrils" is the official name of the floating pontoon bridge that connects the twin terril and long terril (also known as the panorama terril) in Terhills.

    The shape of the bridge is inspired by the so-called golden ratio or Fibonacci spiral. The price of the whole was kept lower than versions with prestressed concrete by working with floating pontoons: 28 concrete containers that are filled with insulation, are hinged together and held in place by 26-meter-long tubular piles, according to bouwkroniek.be/openbare-ruimte-infra/ingenieuze-pontons-slingeren-sierlijk-tussen-mijnterrils-51497

    This 380-meter pontoon bridge guides you gracefully between the slag heaps and across the water. Along the way, you'll be treated to a stunning 360° experience with views of the glistening water and the green slag heaps. "Cycling & Walking among the Slag Heaps" is a unique experience when visiting Hoge Kempen National Park!
