Ruiter- en menroutenetwerk Nationaal Park Hoge Kempen

A custom made network

140 km of bridle-path allows you to discover the National Park by horse. 85 % of it is still earth road. Together with the unique character of the ‘Hoge Kempen’ National Park, this network creates an unforgettable experience for horse lovers. Both riders and carriages are always welcome.

Like the cycling network, this network is a junction system that allows you to create your own trip. All the routes are clearly marked. It is possible to follow the routes in both directions. More information on the distances between the different junctions can be found on the horse riding maps.

Themafietskaart: RivierPark Maasvallei

TheRivierPark Maasvallei (Meuse Valley River Park) is a unique landscape park straddling two countries, with the river Meuse in the lead. Scattered in the landscape, former gravel pits have been transformed into blue water mirrors and unusual fauna and flora brighten up the environment. As you cycle through the Meuse Valley, you're immediately struck by the area's individuality and charm. The embankments are car-free, so you can string together many kilometres undisturbed while enjoying the magnificent views. No wonder the Meuse Valley is the No. 1 region for cycling tourists!

Op stap met een Ranger

All of this is possible under the guidance of a Ranger of the ‘Hoge Kempen’ National Park. They will welcome you to the only National Park in Flanders. In small groups, the Rangers of the ‘Hoge Kempen’ National Park will take you on a relaxing or active, but always surprising discovery of the ‘Hoge Kempen’. They want to show recreationists, nature lovers, schools, companies and youngsters a pleasant time in nature by teaching them how to enjoy nature in a playful yet durable manner and by informing them on the possibilities of natural recreation.

Shopping 1

De Molen Grill

A walk through Genk in the twentieth century.

Genk changed in the twentieth century from a quiet rural commune into one of the most important industrial poles in Flandres. Neel Doff, a writer was an important witness of the beginning of this evolution. We talk about Russian prisoners and English pilotes. How did people live in the fifties in a garden suburb. And how did the car industry shape the city in the sixties.

Camp Carré

Picnicking in Molenvijver park has been given a twist. Designer Linde Hermans transformed one location in the park into 'Camp Carré', where the emphasis is on nature, slow time and social contact.

George and the Bear

George and the Bear is a delightful combination of record and coffee shop, so here you can browse through a wide range of second-hand vinyls and new releases, but also sit back with a good cup of coffee and enjoy a live gig! So coffee with a biscuit, a dash of milk, and a spot of music thrown in for good measure!

Emile Van Dorenmuseum: House of landscape and art

Late 19th century, the Brussels landscape painter Emile Van Doren built villa “Le coin perdu” on the hillside overlooking the Molenvijver pond.
Today this villa shelters the Emile Van Doren museum and tells the story of the old landscape painters and the artist village Genck in 1840-1950.
The museum does not only show old landscape paintings, it also commissions contemporary artists who are inspired by today’s landscape.

Crème Le Lis & Nostalgie

The Molenvijver & sundial park

The Molenvijver Park in the centre of Genk was originally a swampland that was fed by the Dorpsbeek. In 1967, the Molenvijvers were converted into a city park. The authentic watermill is now a restaurant.

You have a view from the Molenvijvers Park onto the most beautiful villas in Molenstraat. Number 80 is La Maison Blanche, the artist Armand Maclot’s villa.

You’ll also find a sundial park here, with no fewer than 12 ways to tell the time.
In this park in Genk you’ll find 12 contemporary sundials. They were designed byJan De Graeve with the help of gnomonists and artists from various European countries. The project brings together scientific ingenuity, modern technology and artistic design. Discover the creativity of scientists and the reasoning of artists or ... how art and science can complement each other. Even when the sun isn’t shining, it’s certainly worth visiting the park.

Sacred Heart Church (Heilig Hartkerk)

Sacred Heart Church was built on the initiative of industrialist and art collector Baron Evence Coppée between 1921 and 1925 and consecrated in 1925. Architect Blomme borrowed elements from different styles for the brick church. The church tower has a distinctive pear-shaped spire. The church furnishings combine eighteenth and nineteenth-century elements. The doorway is framed by a double round arch which is very much in keeping with the houses in the mining city’s garden suburb. The stained glass representing the life of Christ and the martyrdom of St Barbara is also noteworthy. See if you can find this patron saint of the mineworkers. She keeps an eye on Ghent artist Raf Mailleux’s mine workers’ sculpture from a niche in the façade.

Proper regional food at Restaurant U

seasonal and local cuisine. You're seated right in the middle of the
action at our bar, with a view straight into the kitchen. The dishes are served at your table by the chef himself. When it comes to beverages we serve great artisanal Belgian beers and natural wines.

Heempark

If you’re looking for a fun activity for a group that includes children, put on your walking shoes and head for Heempark, situated between Kattevennen and the centre of Genk. Explore the gardens and nature, taking in the ponds, meadows and wood. Other attractions include the small farm animals, the bee hall, the Kempen baker’s oven and the recreation area.

The former Hospital

Het Kliniekske was originally a boarding house. In 1922 the directors of the mine turned it into a hospital known as Sint-Elisabethkliniek, where injured miners could count on fast and reliable treatment. In 1970 the local authorities purchased the building from NV Cockerill. Today Het Kliniekske is a vibrant community centre where socio-cultural organizations rent an office and/or a club room. So if you would like to join a wine guild, a Turkish association or some other club, you have some twenty to choose from!

De Wennel

Headframe

A headframe is the construction at the top of a mine shaft containing the winding gear used to take men to the pit face and bring coal to the surface. The headframe you see here was constructed over the old one in 1963, which explains the height difference. Interestingly as a result Winterslag minefield boasts the oldest (1915) and youngest (1963) headframe in the Kempen basin. You can climb the youngest one... and it’s well worth it for the view!

C-mine Design Centre

The C-mine design centre provides a platform for inspirational design projects by young designers as well as established companies. Be sure to keep an eye on the calendar so as not to miss the exciting design exhibitions and shows regularly held here.

Compressor Hall

In the heyday of black gold, the Compressor Hall was the pounding heart of the mine enterprise. In a sense it was also its lungs for at the time it housed the winding mechanism and the compressors, which (among other things) supplied the underground shafts with fresh air. So what happened in this space was of vital importance to the miners down the pit!
