The “old cooling towers” in Differdange are five cooling towers from the former Arcelor steelworks, which were colourfully painted in 2020 by street artist Alain Welter as part of the “Art in the Loop” project to save them from demolition. One of these towers, the Hadir Tower, had already been demolished in 2014. The artwork was intended to showcase the industrial heritage and culture of the location.

The Minett Trail is a 90-kilometer-long hiking path running across the Minett region. In ten stages, you can experience smaller and larger towns as well as eight nature reserves. These impress with old forests and former mining areas. Due to the steep rock walls, red earth, and mine entrances, they are unique in Luxembourg. On this section, you hike through the nature reserve "Kiemerchen-Scheiergronn-Groussebësch," which borders the "Gaalgebierg" of Belvaux. Along the way, you will again see red rock formations and traces of ore mining. Part of the path leads over an old tire test track, which today looks like an abandoned highway segment. Here, nature is steadfastly reclaiming its place. Thus, the path runs almost exclusively through an extensive forest area. On the Gaalgebierg is a large playground where you will also find inviting picnic spots.
