Inclusieroute 'Het Mijnverleden op straat'

This 2 km inclusion route has been specially developed for wheelchair users, the blind and visually impaired. Download the audio guide here to follow the route via audio fragments. This way you can enjoy the typical features of the city, even with a disability. If you are visually impaired or if you have difficulty reading for another reason, you can use the audio route of the Heerlens Mijnverleden on the street and listen to the audio fragments along the way.

The route is based on the walking route 'The mining past on the street', which is available through our webshop.

The city of Heerlen was the center of the former mining region. We take you back to the fifties, when Heerlen was the second richest city in the Netherlands. When the coal mines turned the entire former mining region upside down for three quarters of a century. Luxury department stores arose in the center and the fur coat belonged in the street scene. That can still be seen, felt and heard. Sometimes the past is well hidden, but it comes to the surface during this route.
