Description

The "Wee vum Steen" (Path of the Stone) takes you around the Natura 2000 area around the Gaalgebierg in Belvaux and explains on several information boards along the way how the Minett stone got from the open pit mines to the blast furnace.

Together with artists from the DKollektiv, the "Wee vum Steen" shows in various ways how Minett stone was mined and finally transported to the blast furnace via conveyor belts and train wagons. Numerous information boards provide more detailed information about the mining and transportation processes. At the former crusher, a specially made sculpture shows the inner workings of the machine, showing how the Minett stones were crushed for further transportation.
