Beautiful panoramic view of Lens and the surrounding area. Be careful when you climb onto the spoil heap during a storm, it's a real hair-raiser!

The terrain is nice, but the signage isn't great... we start a circuit (no. 5) and very quickly there are no more signs... Circuit no. 7 seems well signposted

Site with many choices of circuits

Pyramidal circuit Follow the black arrows n°7, some of them are missing (the GPS tracks help to make the complete tour). There are also a few climbs/descents that are a little technical but short to avoid for real beginners but it's easy to do all the same. Some area a little muddy during rainy periods. I tried to get as close as possible to the original circuit or the arrows by doing the circuit several times & comparing the GPS tracks recorded and adding the missing paths on OpenStreeMap (sometimes the path of the map & the arrows differ a little, e.g. from the 1st entrance to the forest, the arrows pass a little lower than the path on the map, so I made a little mix between the 2, which adds a little climb ;) )

This viewpoint is located at the top of an old mining slag heap in the Parc de la Glissoire, a 55-hectare park which offers various activities such as fishing, canoeing and playgrounds. From the belvedere, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the landscape, in particular of the twin slag heaps of Loos-en-Gohelle, listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. The Parc des glissoires viewpoint is a privileged place to discover the beauty and diversity of the Pas-de-Calais region.

These hills, which were named after their height, are known along the entire front. Hill 70 is a Canadian memorial to the troops who fought here at the time. Access via a level driveway, winding like a snail shell up to the stele at the top. The originally well-designed information boards at the foot of the hill are unfortunately currently damaged by vandalism.

Don't miss the Loos-en-Gohelle slag heap, an astonishing and unusual spectacle. There are five hills made of coal waste, and this one is the highest, reaching 146 meters, the highest in Europe! Hike to the top and admire the views. You can see how nature has transformed the hills with plants, animals and even grapes. Take the opportunity to learn about this UNESCO World Heritage site and discover its rich history and culture at Base 11/19.

This park commemorates the Battle of Hill 70, a strategic victory for the Canadian Army in August 1917. The park features an obelisk that symbolizes the courage and sacrifice of Canadians, as well as walkways, sculptures and interpretive panels which tell the story of the battle. You can also admire the view of the city of Lens, which was occupied by the Germans at the time.
