Wandelgebied Kattevennen

The hiking routes starting at ‘Kattevennen’ are the ideal connection between the centre of Genk and the National Park. The vast pine forests are an excellent environment for an intensive walk. Due to the presence of the Botanical Park, the sundials of the ‘Molenvijver’ park and the Path of the Planets, it is also an educational trip.

Examples of possible trips are: following a “wooden plank path”, hiking to the ‘ecoveloduct’ (an ecoduct for both fauna and cyclists), and many more.

Het Greven en het waterproductiecentrum in Eisden

Guided walk through the nature reserve het Gan and a visit to the water production centre branch of the Water group.

My prolapse everywhere for in my area, but E-Village is the only location in the county where the impact of the mine subsidence are clearly visible. After a trip through the canopies of the trees, one sinks off in nature reserve het Gan where there by the mine subsidence different water sources have come to the surface.

Wandelgebied Mechelse Heide - Zandloperpad: natuurbeleving voor jong en oud!

Wandelgebied Mechelse Heide

Hiking : Mechelse Heide

None of the Gateways to the National Park are so adapted to hiking as the ‘Mechelse Heide’. The north side of the road between ‘As’ and ‘Maasmechelen’ (‘J. Smeetslaan’) will take you through a nice forest area, while the south side mainly consists of heather and will take you to some of the highest points of the ‘Hoge Kempen’. You can even see as far as Germany. Due to the difference in height, some of the routes are considered moderate to heavy walking. But it is well worth the effort, since these hikes will take you to some of the most beautiful patches of heather in the region (‘Mechelse Heide’ or ‘Kikbeekbron’). All the hiking routes fall within the boundaries of the National Park

Gidstocht 'Tournée cité' (te voet)

Did you know that the mine provided houses for its employees? Labourers, clerks and engineers could live in on-site residences. Each type of home was built in a typical style. Schools, shops, sports pitches, boarding houses, a cultural centre, a hospital and a church were built to fulfil the miners' needs.

A whole neighbourhood was quickly formed around the mining seat. It was called the mining estate or garden district. You can round out the walk with a visit to the mosque or the mine cathedral.

When: Every day
Duration: 2 hours/ 3 hours. Wheelchair accessible.

TIP!
A map of the mining estate is available for individual ramblers.

Ten Haagdoorn

This unique nature area of 800 ha with moorland, woods, inland dunes, ponds and moors is located alongside the Laambeek and on the Kempen plateau

In the reserve you can get a dose of healthy energy for hours in an unspoilt nature area. Perhaps along the way you will come across the flock of sheep: it supports nature management in the area.

A map with marked walking paths is available from VVV-Toerisme Houthalen-Helchteren.

The reserve can be accessed throughout the year from half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sunset.

Admission is free. Naturally you may not walk outside of the paths.

Your dog is welcome too, but only on a lead so as not to chase the flock of sheep, not to disturb the wild animals and not to hinder other visitors.
