For years, Station As played a central role in coal mining in this region, as from here the many miners and coal wagons departed to the nearby mines in Eisden, Waterschei, and Winterslag. Now, you will find the narrowest visitor center of the National Park in a restored train.
Until 2017, gravel was extracted to the north and south of the Coal Trail. After this, the area was redeveloped in a landscape-friendly manner by the Restructuring Committee (now the Gravel Committee) before being returned to nature. The area is named after the nearby boulder that marks the boundary between the former municipalities of Lanklaar, Niel-bij-As, and Mechelen-aan-de-Maas.
