Discovery trail "Prënzebierg - Giele Botter"

The "Prënzebierg - Giele Botter" discovery trail passes through a former open-cast mine in the "Land of Red Earth". At the time of ore extraction, the site was devoid of vegetation, and red dominated the landscape. Following the cessation of mining and the creation of the nature reserve, nature and vegetation regained their rightful place and new habitats developed. Today, the site is characterized by its green vegetation and a multitude of biotopes at different stages of development. Let's walk along the old track of the “Buggiën”, discovering the same landscape from two different angles: imagine yourself in the days of iron mining, which left its mark on the landscape, and take a close look at the different stages in the evolution of the vegetation, observe the flora and fauna - as diverse as they are rare - of today's nature reserve.
