About this school trip

On the former Winterslag mine site in Genk, C-mine expeditie takes your pupils on an adventurous one-and-a-half-kilometre trail. They walk through the old tunnels underground, pass challenging installations and get hands-on in an interactive sound booth. Along the way, an audio guide tells the history of the mine, full of stories about the work and lives of the miners.

This experience engages all the senses and makes the theme of mining and industry tangible for pupils from upper primary through to vocational students. Around the expedition, C-mine is also a creative hub for art, design and architecture, which makes the visit all the more fascinating. If you are coming with a group of more than ten people, please contact C-mine in advance.
