Mijnsite De Schacht Heusden-Zolder - multiculturele markt, elke 2de en 4de woensdagnamiddag

Mijnsite De Schacht Heusden-Zolder

Mining was once one of Limburg’s prime industries. Discover mining’s fascinating past and present at the mine site and slag heap, or absorb the local colour in the garden suburbs.
Many old mine buildings have been protected and converted for new uses. Together with the shaft tower and Monnoyer Chimney, they remain as visible relics of the “black gold”.
In ZLDR LUCHTFABRIEK, discover how miners descended to the coalface and the black gold was brought to the surface. Learn how air was sent to a depth of 800 m, so that the miners
could breathe and work. Experience the unending feeling of a mineshaft in one of the lighting-art installations. A visit to the impressive Wattman room in Watt 17, the
former power plant, is sure to capture your imagination. And if you are interested in sustainable building technology, visit the exhibition in CEDUBO, located in the former miners’
washroom. There are thematic walks to help you explore all of these buildings.

feel to step into an infinite shaft, or get disorientated in the
dark? ZLDR LUCHTFABRIEK will lead you through the
spectacular winding engine building!

Nieuw Administratief Centrum (NAC) - NAC

NAC (New Administration Center)

In Houthalen-Helchteren the past goes hand in hand with the future. As symbols of two major periods, they stand out over our community: the pit heads and the New Administrative Centre (NAC), which has even made it onto the list of ‘100 places in the world that you just have to see’.

This futuristic and at the same time sober, ecological and extremely functional building is located on the old mining site and houses among others the municipal services, the OCMW (Social Service Department), the library, VVV-Toerisme and the police. The observation point on the roof of the building's blue tower, an artistic spot with an extensive view over this community and the region, is called ‘het Oog van Daubechies’ ('the eye of Daubechies').

This tower is named after a resident of Houthalen-Helchteren: Ingrid Daubechies. In the stairway enclosure you will find more information on her brilliant and famed mathematical formulas.

be-MINE

It's more or less the standard for Beringen and the be-MINE to be mentioned in the same breath. As a city, Beringen is inextricably linked to its mining past and be-Mine really is its best tourist asset. Nowhere else has a mining site been preserved in such excellent condition, and there's no other place where the mix between heritage, recreation and tourism has been such a resounding success.

Taking the time out for a be-Mine excursion is well worth the effort. There is so much to do in Beringen: enjoy a fabulous time shopping on Be-MINE Boulevard, go swimming at the Sportoase, have a climbing and bouldering adventure at Alpamayo, take advantage of Todi's diving and snorkelling facilities, explore the Mine Museum, play on Adventure Mountain (de avonturenberg) and go for a stroll or cycle along the coal tracks or mountain bike up and down the sides of the slag heap. Are you up for exploring it all? Pop by the tourist information centre for a user-friendly map and an explanation by the experts.
