Feel the heartbeat of nature

Let yourself be surprised

Welcome to the place where the Eisden coal mine was still running at full capacity more than a quarter of a century ago.

Today the landscape looks completely different, and you can enjoy a surprising landscape of 'mountains and lakes' with spectacular panoramas. Be amazed by the exceptional landscape, mining heritage, an adventure play pit and so much more! If you want to explore the National Park, this is the ideal place to start your hike.

At your service

In the National Park Visitor Centre, you are in the right place for information and meeting. The team will be happy to answer all your questions and tell you what the National Park has to offer. Your four-legged friend is of course also welcome on a lead.

Impact on climate change

If you visit the main entrance gate, you cannot miss Ecotron Hasselt University.

This scientific research installation with Limburg roots consists of thirteen high-tech ecosystem rooms in which different climate scenarios can be simulated. Ecotron allows scientists to study the impact of climate change on ecosystems and biodiversity.

Style and comfort

Four stars, 59 luxury rooms: the Terhills Hotel in Maasmechelen is the embodiment of style and comfort.

The neoclassical baroque style of the imposing main mining building is a showpiece from our industrial past. Recently, the building has been given a trendy, future-oriented interpretation… Welcome to Terhills Hotel!

Tasting with all your senses

In THE BAKERY you will be completely immersed in the world of bread and pastries.

All your senses will be stimulated with a multitude of tastes, smells, colours and aromas!
