The Arch

The Berlin artists’ collective ConstructLab designed a wooden construction and lived in it for four months while developing a building brick from plastic waste. Genk citizens, visitors and chance passers-by were invited to make a brick from plastic bottle tops which were used to cover a 7-metre-high, participatory artwork called ‘The Arch’.

Sint-Pieterskerk, Teuven - kerk teuven

Sint-Pieterskerk, Teuven

Teuven is situated in a lovely undulating landscape, surrounded by extensive forests. The neogothic St Pieters church from 1870 towers high above the rest of the village.
Teuven has two castles. Firstly, ‘De Hoof‘, formerly the dwelling place of the local lords
The Flemish community purchased it in 1985 and it was re-decorated and re-furbished privately afterwards. It is now exploited as a hotel and restaurant.
Secondly, the former abbey of Sinnich which has been in private possession since the French Revolution. From around 1250 the Augustinian nuns lived here in an abbey which was founded from Kloosterrade (Rolduc) – now Dutch Limburg.Only daughters of noble descent were admitted to the community of Sinnich. The stone Roman steeple from the 13th century is the only remaining landmark that goes back to these starting years.
The tower and the frontispiece, designed by the Aken architect Couven (1750) may just be spotted from the road. However, just like the other castles of Voeren, this castle is also not open to the public.

Historisch Centrum Luchtmachtbasis Brustem - museum luchtmachtbasis brustem 2

Since 1974 the Belgian Airforce has trained its pilots in Brustem.

Mijnterril be-MINE

Every inch a spoil heap
Coal that was brought to the surface had to be separated from stones via washing before it could be sold. The stones were piled up and the stone mountain or spoil heap was created. After the mine closed the spoil heap was sowed and signposted footpaths were created. Climb to 100 metres and treat yourself to an impressive panoramic view of the mine estate.

When?
The spoil heap is accessible between sunrise and sunset.

Price:
Free! Groups can hire a guide; the guide fee is €60 (for the first 2 hours).

Where?
You can reach the spoil heap in two ways. Park your car on the beMine site or on the car park at the Orgelwinningstraat.
