This route offers the chance to discover the riches of an exceptional natural heritage and will take you through the miners’ villages, along the Deûle Canal, across industrial wastelands and slag heaps. You will also pass through the Bois de l’Offlarde, a woodland that was once an extension of the Phalempin Forest.
This circular route follows three former ‘mining overpasses’ – old railway links used by the mining companies to connect the pits to the coal transport networks.
