ヘヒテル・エクセルのバイクパーク・トップ13

Beautiful and varied landscape.

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.

A nature reserve of 540 hectares, located along the upper reaches of the Grote Nete in the municipality of Balen. What is special about this area is the combination of two completely different natural cores that seamlessly connect to each other. The Most is an extremely wet valley area, while the higher Keiheuvel is characterized by dry open land dunes. You will find the dunes everywhere in Keiheuvel, but the most beautiful part is behind the Airport. European top nature in Most-Keiheuvel that everyone can enjoy while walking, cycling, on horseback and even in a wheelchair.

The Adventure Mountain is a unique attraction that connects the foot of the small slag heap at the track park with the top, at a height of 55 m. A special play landscape, substantive heritage paths, breathtaking mountain bike paths (MTB) and views of relics of mining history together form a total concept in which experience is central.

Nice area where you can get to know the sand hills of Keiheuvel.

On the Adventure Mountain you can clamber, climb and discover. Through a forest of 1,600 poles you reach the top of the slag heap via stairs, rope courses, climbing structures, crawl tunnels and walking paths. The path leads you from one viewpoint to the next and offers background information about the history of the coal mine. At the top you can relax on the sunken coal square and enjoy the peace and the view.

Beautiful area with two Terrils (a waste rock mountain as a by-product of underground mining). The large one is about 135m high and the small one about 95m high. On the small one there is also a spectacular Mountain Bike Park and a Play Hill (be-Mine). It is beautiful how they have made something beautiful out of something old. There is also a Mine Museum and Diving Pool with sybtropical fish (TODI). Ideal for a day out with the kids (or without kids too :)

The higher dunes where you often see young and not so young MTB riders, part of which is also a play area.
