Terhills, Toegangspoort tot het Nationaal Park

Welcome to the place where the coal mine of Eisden was still fully operational more than a quarter of a century ago. These days, the landscape looks completely different and you can enjoy a surprising landscape of ‘mountains and lakes’ with spectacular panoramas. In Connecterra, you can let yourself be surprised by a special nature area in Flanders. Nearby, you also find the accessible Zandloperpad (only 5 km away, in the hiking area Mechelse Heide), a playground and a visiting centre with café. In Connecterra you can get back and forth to the lake along a 1.5 km gravel semi-paving path. Of course the ascension requires an extra effort.
