The Connecterra is practically in the back garden of Maasmechelen Village. Put on your walking shoes and experience for yourself this unique piece of Flanders landscape. A mere 26 years ago the coal mines in Eisden were at peak production but now you can find some of the rarest butterflies in the country. The heaps of shale and gravel excavations have left behind a transformed landscape of ‘hills and lakes’ that really does offer the prettiest panorama in Flanders.
For those more interested in culture, you can discover the 100 year old garden suburb of Eisden by exploring the thematic heritage walk. Would you like to make your visit really special? Then why not go for a wander with a Ranger! You can choose from one of a number of scheduled events taking place or you can book a Ranger to take you and your family and friends on a tour.
