Gemeente Heusden-Zolder

On Sunday, December 13, the Besox Mijnentocht is back on the program, an event that takes participants through nature and past unique mining sites in Limburg.

Participants can choose from various distances: 8 km, 15 km, 20 km, and 30 km. The longer distances of 15, 20, and 30 km start in Beringen and end in Heusden-Zolder. The 8 km is a loop with start and finish in Heusden-Zolder.
The 8 km is an accessible walk. The 15 km traverses beautiful natural and mining landscapes. The 20 km offers extra elevation and surprising passages, while the 30 km, exclusively for runners, is a robust challenge with steep climbs and breathtaking views.
Whether choosing a relaxed winter walk or a challenging trail, the Besox Mijnentocht promises a unique experience in the heart of Limburg's mining past.
