At the top of the small slag heap is a 360° viewing platform with explanations and directions in all directions of where you are looking.

Old unpaved footpaths are still common in the agricultural area between Halen and Loksbergen. The road layout has changed relatively little between the 17th century and the present. East of these roads lies the Betserbaan, which played a key role in the Battle of Halen. Of interest is this Kanoniersstraat, which is unpaved for its entire length between the Betserbaan and the Kauwplasstraat (1.6 km) and has a cart track as its base. Where this road crosses the summit of the Mettenberg, it cuts into the flanks, creating a sunken lane with wooded banks on the verge. These wooded banks belong to the category of "indigenous trees and shrubs," with the most common species being robinia, oak, and hawthorn. Historically, the Kanoniersstraat was the old connecting road between Halen and Leuven across the interfluve of the Ketelbeek and IJzerenbeek (demonstrable by a 17th-century tithe map). It has since lost its role as a connecting road. Kanoniersstraat has now been given a purely local role, allowing it to retain its authentic appearance as an old road.

Hiking to the top of the slag heap does indeed require some effort, but you will be rewarded with beautiful panoramas of the surroundings. And along the way there are benches here and there where you can, if necessary, recover.

A sunken road is a road that is so deeply worn that it lies between two slopes. It is the result of centuries of use and erosion. The most beautiful sunken roads can be found especially in hilly areas with a subsoil that easily forms steep walls, such as in Haspengouw and Hageland.

A shady path...

Beautiful area with two Terrils (a mountain of stone waste as a by-product of underground mining). The large one is approximately 135m high and the small one is approximately 95m high. The small one also has a spectacular mountain bike park and a play hill (be-Mine). It's wonderful how they turned something old into something beautiful. There is also a Mining Museum and Diving Basin with sybtropical fish (TODI).

The Kepkensberg is a witness hill (diestian hill) in the hamlets Genebos and Genendijk (Kwaadmechelen, Ham), near Tessenderlo. It is 43 meters above sea level but has some significant slopes. The base consists of iron sandstone. In 2021, a new Multimove path was opened on the wooded hill. There are also remains of trenches to be found.

The Beloftekapel Kepkensberg was founded in the 1930s as a pledge of Marian worship after Felix Rutten was seriously ill when he contracted typhus at the age of 31 during his mobilization due to the Franco-Prussian War. Source: QR code Chapel walk with link to https://www.ham.be/kapelletje-l
