From mining site to tourist hotspot

Terhills is located on the former Eisden mining site in the heart of the Euregio region. It covers approximately 365 hectares in Dilsen-Stokkem and Maasmechelen, on the edge of Belgium’s only national park. Shaped by its past as an industrial mining and gravel quarrying site, the environment today is characterized by lush fauna and flora, huge watercourses and unique views from the spoil tips.

At the entrance of Terhills, climb the 12-metre high shaft tower for a breath-taking view of the surroundings. On the ground floor, a unique photo exhibition shows the mining site’s rich historic past, and a mining-themed playground keeps young adventurers busy while you enjoy a relaxing break on the terrace.
