Just outside the city center, you can walk for 2 hours across 4 different slag heaps. The walk is perfect for beginners, although there is some climbing up and down involved. Sturdy hiking boots are a must. The most beautiful view is right at the end of the walk, on the Saint-Théodore slag heap. This is also the steepest climb, but with a beautiful reward at the end: a 360-degree view of the iron and steel factories around Charleroi. Credits: Emma's Roadmap
