In 1992, the last mine in the Benelux closed its doors in Zolder. Yet, it was the first place where the protected buildings were given a new purpose. Along with the winding tower, the Monnoyer chimney, and the mortuary, they remain visible relics of "black gold." The "Watt 17" power station has been expertly restored. The multifunctional building "De Verdieping" houses a passive school and the CVO (Cultural Education Centre), and in the restored winding engine building, you can take the ZLDR LUCHTFABRIEK heritage walk for free. The Market Square comes alive every second and fourth Wednesday of the month with the multicultural market "MijnMarkt" (My Market).

The Zwarte Beek is a typical lowland stream in Limburg. It originates in Hechtel and Helchteren and flows via Koersel, Beringen, Paal, Meldert, and Zelem to the Demer River in Diest, Flemish Brabant. Its source is located on the western flank of the Kempen Plateau and seamlessly connects with other important nature reserves such as the Dommeldal (Bollisserbeek). Over a distance of 5.5 km, the Zwarte Beek then flows through and along the Leopoldsburg Military Domain. From Paal, the valley widens and is flanked by the first hillocks. From here, the Kempen gradually transitions into the Hageland region. Near Meldert and Zelem, the ridges enclose the valley more and more. Here, the nature reserve borders the Schulensbroek to the south. Just past Zelem, the stream valley joins the Demer Valley in Diest via the Rotbroek. The distance between the source and mouth is 27 km as the crow flies and 35 km if you follow the stream. The elevation drop is 48 meters. Hikes: the Valley, as An says, from De Watersnip.

The recreation area is known to many as "het (Koersels) kapelleke" (the Koersels chapel), as it grew around the chapel of Our Lady of the Stakes and has been a place of pilgrimage since 1826. The observation tower is the focal point of this wooded area. Anyone who climbs the nearly 30-meter-high tower can look out over the typical Kempen landscape. The area includes a playground, minigolf, trick pin courts, a splash pond, and numerous beautiful camping sites for youth clubs. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy an orienteering run. The hiking opportunities are endless. Source and more: https://www.beringen.be/recreatie-t-fonteintje Admission to the playground, observation tower, and splash pond is free. Open from the beginning of the Easter holidays until the end of the autumn holidays. Opening hours at https://www.visitberingen.be/fonteintje
