First hike for us, good experience.
We used the GPS on the app, as it was easier for novices like us to find our way! It was very useful, as the signs on the route directed us to the right when we should have turned left.

I enjoyed this hike, even though I needed the GPS on my phone to find my way before and during the crossing of the apple orchards.

A pleasant and very interesting walk: mining settlements, trenches, apple trees, the Miners' Chapel with its stained glass windows...

Didn't have time to walk the trails, but we visited the mining museum, which was very interesting. It turns out that coal wasn't only found in the north...

A lovely walk. We particularly enjoyed the wooded path that follows the route of the old railway line and the visit to the chapel (with its magnificent stained glass windows) on the way back. It's a shame there's a bit of tarmac, but there was very little traffic on the road on this Sunday morning. We'll do it again, perhaps combining this route with the other one on offer in the area. And we'll visit the mining centre, which we didn't have time to do yesterday.

Hello,

After visiting the very informative museum (we were already familiar with the previous one), but this one obviously has "something extra"

we set off to explore this route, which is very pleasant at the beginning of spring!

Highly recommended...

Best regards.

Very easy hike with dogs that can be let off the leash for almost the entire route. The only slight downside is crossing the forest on the path that follows the old railway line; this small section is not very pleasant.

A pleasant hike suitable for children of all ages, as the route is easy and very accessible. The route is approximately 5 kilometres long and takes less than 2 hours to complete.

A walk through varied landscapes with information on geology in particular.
The Mining Museum is absolutely fascinating, especially for children, with its descent and tour of a reconstructed mine. The meals at the hotel are also very good and the staff are welcoming. A very good day with some lovely surprises. Definitely worth a visit for its friendly atmosphere (it was the last day for the museum, which reopens next year in February, I think).
