Terril des Viviers, Former coal mining site in Gilly, Belgium
The Terril des Viviers extends across 19 hectares, featuring a water body, temporary ponds, and wooded areas along its western and northern borders.
This coal mining waste heap represents the industrial legacy of Wallonia, where mining activities significantly shaped local communities from the 18th century onwards.
The GR412 hiking trail, which crosses through the site, connects multiple industrial locations in the region, preserving the memory of mining heritage.
Ten hectares of the site have been converted into a park space, providing natural areas for hospital patients, visitors, and local residents.
The site holds biological importance status, supporting rare species and threatened biotopes while maintaining high biological diversity.
