The hiking trail starts at the free parking lot next to the Boulodrome. Here you can decide whether you want to start your tour immediately into the greenery of the Haard-Hesselsbierg-Staebierg nature reserve or explore the working-class neighbourhood "Quartier Italien" first. The 7 kilometres long circular route offers plenty of variety: from green forest to open landscapes characterized by open-cast mining, fields with poppies (between May and June) to red earth and rock faces. The highlight of the tour is the Humpen, a former train carriage in the middle of nowhere in which slag was transported.
