April 26, 2023,Mijnterril Beringen – Terril Beringen Rondje vanuit Tuinwijk Beverlo

Route found in the app, some parts are clearly not meant to be done...
Otherwise a very nice walk (be careful with the loops because the app dares to send you the wrong way if you do a piece the second time)

Finally got to Beringen today, it's so far from Zonhoven 🙈.
Bright sunshine but chilly. Beautiful walk over the slag heap. Don't forget the last bit to the top is not in bearing.

Today a small walk in the nature reserve Mijnterril (Be-Mine). The underlying idea was to put weight on my knee again on altimeters.

The first slag heap (Adventurenberg) is about 95 meters high. The second slag heap is 135 meters high and treats you to an impressive panorama at the top. The terrils are perfectly connected via various hiking trails!

For the more adventurous among us: take a short detour halfway along the route to the top of the slag heap. Here, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of …
