Environment
Where a quarter of a century ago the Eisden coal mine was still running at full speed, today you will find the Terhills landscape, characterised by hills and lakes with spectacular panoramas. In the immediate area, you will also find the Tuinwijk-Eisden mining site, where beautifully preserved miners' dwellings can be admired. Be enchanted by this extraordinary landscape, the heritage of the mining industry and so much more.
Discover the beauty of National Park Hoge Kempen on a variety of hikes. As the only National Park in Belgium, this unique nature reserve covers more than 12,000 acres of natural splendor. The park has a dual mission: to preserve nature and provide recreational opportunities for people. With 440 kilometers of hiking trails, an extensive bicycle route network, 200 kilometers of unpaved trails for mountain bikers, and an extensive equestrian network, there is something for everyone.

If only life were as easy as this walk. As you might guess, this short route is accessible to young and old alike. You won't get out of breath, although the breathtaking scenery will occasionally take your
breath away.
Walk on Water (10 km)
A longer family walk where you continue a little further after the bridge over the water. Suitable for all fitness levels, although there are a few small slopes along the route. Our happy medium, you might say.
Walk on The Wild Side (15 km)

Walk of Life (25 km)
