The Herkenrode Abbey site is an interesting combination of culture, history, nature and an ideal starting point for walks.

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.

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.

Beautiful walking on these hilly sandy paths between the heath. 👌

The Bolderberg is a witness hill and nature reserve near the eponymous town of Bolderberg in the Belgian municipality of Heusden-Zolder. It is located near the Circuit Zolder, Domein Bovy and the nature reserves Waterlozen and Wijvenheide. The largest part of the hill - including the historic Kluis van Bolderberg - belongs to the private domain of Kasteel Vogelsanck. This part of the domain is accessible to the public. Another part is owned by Limburgs Landschap vzw and is managed as a nature reserve. This is a sub-area of the Laambeekvallei reserve and covers almost 70 ha. This reserve also includes the heathland on the Bolderberg known as the Gust Claesheide, named after the Bolderberg school principal Gust Claes (1927-1978), who did much to spread knowledge about and love for nature. At the bottom of the steeply sloping heathland, seepage emerges and one finds wet heathland and raised bog with, among other things, cotton grass, bog asphodel and bog myrtle. The tree frog also occurs there. From the Kluis one has a special view of the ponds in the depths and the castle of Terlaemen. (Wikipedia)

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.

The bridge connects the forests of Hees with Lobos castle and Loboshoeve.

Near Meldert and Zelem, on the border of Kempen and Hageland, the stream squeezes between several "Diestiaan ridges". The valley here is relatively narrow and the rapid transition from very wet swampy areas to very dry ridges make this area very valuable landscape and ecologically. In the "Schurfert" area in Meldert/Linkhout, the creation of ponds and marshes in the valley area has once again created an ideal biotope for meadow birds. Curlew, stonechat and snipe are increasingly frequenting this area. The "Marais de Zeelhem", currently known as "de Leunen", was also the favorite excursion site for botanists 100 years ago and even today it still houses characteristic flora, such as snake root, water hemlock, gale and many sedge species. On older maps the stream here was also known as "De Zwarte Laak" (De Swerte Laeck).
