Steenmannetjesroute - Steenmannetjes

Little stone men

On the path to the right of Thor Central, 12 little stone men or small piles of basalt mark the shortest route to the top of the spoil pit. The principle is simple: you walk from one heap of stones to the next. Everyone will come across them at some point, suddenly and unexpectedly. And you are duty-bound to add your own little stone man!

Ten Haagdoorn - Tenhaagdoorn

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.

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.

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.

Tuinwijk Winterslag - tuinwijk winterslag

Winterslag garden city

Inspired by the garden cities he had seen in England, in 1911 at the request of mining pioneer baron Evence Coppée II, the Brussels architect Adrien Blomme designed a ‘total concept’ for Winterslag that combined city and country. The design for Winterslag garden suburb, a first for Belgium, was structured around major elements like the railway station, church and mine. The planting of parks and gardens and tree-lined avenues was also integral to the plan.
The C-mine discovery map outlines a 4-kilometre walk through this charming green residential area in the vicinity of the colliery.
Priced at €1, the discovery map is available from the C-mine Visitor Centre during opening hours.
