The nature run Beringen consists of two challenging running loops that both start at Sportoase TODI Beringen.
The short blue loop is 7.4 km long and has an elevation gain of 230 meters. The longer black loop of 13.1 km has an elevation gain of 320 meters. Both routes offer a combination of physical challenge and natural beauty. Due to the elevation changes and technical single tracks, they are a challenge for (trail) runners of all levels.
Along the way, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape from the tops of the spoil tips. The route begins with a steep climb over the small spoil tip – also known as the Adventure Mountain - after which you can also walk up the mining spoil tip of Beringen (the large spoil tip). The longer route extends into the Stalse woods, where you can enjoy the forested surroundings.
The Mining Spoil Tip of Beringen, a living testament to the Limburg coal mining past, is today a thriving nature reserve. This hill, with its alternating thickets and open spaces, harbors a rich flora and fauna. On the steep slopes, these are primarily thickets of pedunculate oak, rough birch, and hawthorn. In the open spaces, herbs and plants such as St. John's wort, daisies, and yarrow are trying to claim a spot. The many insects present, such as the blue-winged grasshopper and the queen butterfly, are on the menu of birds like the tree pipit, meadow pipit, and field lark. Visitors are rewarded with breathtaking panoramas.
The longer route takes runners to the Stalse woods. These woods are a popular area for nature and sports enthusiasts, including mountain bikers. This forested area is part of a vast natural reserve known for its hilly landscape, beautiful forest paths, and single tracks.
