The coal mining past lives on...

The two winding towers commemorate the history of coal mining. In less than a decade, the history of coal mining in the Hoge Kempen region drastically changed the landscape. The last coal mine (Eisden) closed in 1901. In those 1989 years, the landscape transformed from a "rural" landscape of mainly heathland, moors, and dunes to an "industrial" landscape with winding towers, slag heaps, pine forests for timber harvesting, and quarries for raw materials.

"Cycling between the Tailings" is a floating pontoon bridge in the Hoge Kempen National Park, opening on September 14, 2024. Cyclists and hikers can enjoy a 360° view of the landscape between the iconic Eisden tailings, a unique experience that connects landscape and heritage.

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

When you are in the church, you can admire the beautiful hilly landscape through the 'walls'. In the distance you can see the church of Borgloon. Many photographers also take a photo where you can see the church of Borgloon through the see-through church. You have this view from a certain spot in the meadow.
