Heusden-Zolder Coal Mine

Highlight • Historical Site

New companies have now come to the old mine site and former offices, this is called reconversion or conversion.
The former bathroom or lavoir is now home to the Centre for Sustainable Building (CeDuBo), where anyone with building plans can go for advice.
The Ophaalmachineggebouw was restored. The CVO De Verdieping was integrated at the back. The Cultuurcentrum Muze was incorporated to the side and the central compressor hall housed ZLDR Luchtfabriek, a visitors centre about the mining past with party facilities between enormous compressors.
As in the past, there is still a 'multicultural' market on the newly constructed square every 2nd and 4th Wednesday, the former paydays of the miners, popularly known as the Turkenmarkt.

The old railroad

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A beautiful route over an old railway that has been transformed into a beautiful cycle path through the landscape with ever-changing surroundings. So you are in a village and two seconds later you are in the countryside. Fantastically beautiful cycling here, definitely do it once.

De Watergroep Water Refill Station

Highlight • Rest Area

Here you can get free drinking water by simply placing your water bottle in the hole and holding your hand to the left of the device in front of the sensor.
Let the water run before you put your water bottle underneath because the first part can be a bit warm.

De Boom In by Will Beckers

Highlight • Monument

The various sculptures and art objects give a special appeal to a cycle path in this area. In addition, the information boards are very informative and often have to do with the life of butterflies.
