    Meinterril Beringen is a nature reserve in the municipality of Koersel, located on slag heap number 2 of the former Beringen coal mine. It is owned by the Agency for Nature and Forests.

    The mine closed in 1989 and the slag heap was remediated in 1995. Herbs were planted and the entire area was opened to the public. At a height of 100 meters, there is a plateau with a view over the surroundings.

    We saddle up at be-MINE at the former Beringen mine. Where miners once extracted coal from the ground for decades, a true nature reserve has now been created with hills and bushes. The former slag heaps offer impressive viewpoints with wide vistas.

    For children, the Adventure Mountain is located on the other slag heap of be-MINE, where children reach the summit via giant stairs, a rope course, climbing structures, and crawling tunnels. If you want to learn more about the hardship of working in the Limburg mines, you can visit the Mine Museum.

    Mountain bikers ride on the Beringen spoil heap, and this well-paved cycle path runs next door. There is often a lot going on here on nice weekends. At the restored mine there is not only a shopping center, but also a museum, a restaurant and a diving center.
