The collapse of the wool market in Europe, combined with the rise of the mining industry, caused the heather to lose its importance. Heathland made way for the planting of pines or wooded due to a lack of maintenance. Limburgs Landschap vzw wants to gradually transform the coniferous forests into natural deciduous forests or heathland. The old Maaseik-Hasselt railway bed runs through the Vossenberg, over which the current cycle route network runs. From this cycle path you can observe the steep edge of the Kempen plateau at various locations.
