Gosson Slag Heap 1

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

The Gosson slag heap 1 is located in the municipality of Saint-Nicolas, in the heart of the Liège industrial basin, not far from the Meuse. It is a major site for many remarkable heritage species that are protected or threatened in Wallonia. With an area exceeding 40 hectares, the Gosson slag heap is one of the largest slag heaps in the Liège region. Many natural environments coexist there, and all stages of vegetation representative of the colonization of mining sites are represented on the site. Nearly 200 species of plants have been counted! The nature reserve covers only a small part of this vast area. Open environments are favored there. Half of the nature reserve is managed by sheep

The Terrils Centre and its café

Highlight • Rest Area

La Maison des Terrils is located in the former wash house of the Gosson II slag heap, which was once used as a shower room and miners' changing room. It is now an interpretation center for slag heaps. After discovering the neighboring plants and animals in view, you can go and meet them in their natural environment. Long thought of as the painful scars of a bygone industrial age, slag heaps are now havens for many species that are partially threatened with extinction. The abandonment of these sites by humans has enabled a diversified nature to colonize these seemingly hostile environments

The dragonfly

Highlight • Structure

The Terril du Gosson is located near the center of Liège, in the municipality of St-Nicolas. It is a nature reserve consisting of 9,500 thousand cubic meters of waste from industrial activity. One of the attractions on the grounds is a giant dragonfly, which is actually an art installation that serves as a storm basin. The body of the insect consists of 80m long embankments and its wings are water features
