"Cycling between the Tailings" is a floating pontoon bridge in the Hoge Kempen National Park, opening on September 14, 2024.

At carefully chosen locations, well-considered interventions have been made in the landscape, allowing you to experience the surroundings from a different perspective. Here, along the tailings, "Cycling between the Tailings" unfolds. This cycling and walking bridge floats elegantly over the water, its flowing and organic spiral shape providing a 360-degree view of the landscape and heritage, telling the stories of the mines and the gravel and sand extraction. It is an invitation to further explore the Hoge Kempen National Park. Cycling between the slag heaps transcends its function as a functional cycling and walking route. It is a Limburg bridge connecting nature and heritage, between Limburg's rich past and promising future. The bridge is a technical feat. A length of 380 meters is spanned by 28 interconnected concrete floating pontoon elements, each 13 meters long. The bridge is anchored underwater to 15 steel tubular piles, each 1 meter in diameter and weighing 8 to 11 tons, which extend to a depth of 24 to 26 meters.

A good requirement is...good condition because it is a tough walk, especially the red route, but it is definitely worth it... beautiful surroundings

Footbridge over the water, 300 m great experience

must be beautiful when the heather is in bloom

Beautiful to walk over the water between the terrils! But beware, you are not the only one who wants to do that, so it will be busy with other walkers and cyclists!

You literally walk over the water, and this route also provides a quicker connection between the long slag heap and the twin slag heap.

"Cycling between the Mining Terrils" is the official name of the floating pontoon bridge that connects the twin slag heap and the long slag heap (also known as the panorama slag heap) in Terhills. The bridge's shape is inspired by the golden ratio or Fibonacci spiral. The overall cost was kept lower than prestressed concrete versions by using floating pontoons: 28 concrete pontoons filled with insulation, hinged together, and held in place by 26-meter-long tubular piles, according to https://bouwkroniek.be/openbare-ruimte-infra/ingenieuze-pontons-slingeren-sierlijk-tussen-mijnterrils-51497
