Emile Van Dorenmuseum: Huis van landschap en kunst - Emile Van Dorenmuseum

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.

With the art project RESET Emile Van Doren, contemporary artists Gert Robijns and Hugo Duchateau connect past and present, inside and outside, the painted and the factual landscape, inspired by the seasons.

Wandelgebied Pietersheim

We definitely recommend the short hike through the castle park. With its deciduous forest, its avenues and its orchards, it has a very different character then the drier ‘Hoge Kempen’. Almost all of the hiking routes are situated inside the National Park, sometimes significant climbing is necessary due to the differences in height of the terrain.

Beeldentuin Staf Timmers

In addition to being a painter and sculptor, Staf Timmers is also a passionate gardener who has made his garden into a work of art.

There you will walk from one surprise to another, full of idyllic corners, with first a park with tall trees, to then be immersed in a maze of art and nature. It is not just a sculpture park, but a garden in which every sculpture has its own place. Art and nature form an expressive and organic whole there.

You can also walk into his workshop and see how an idea grows from a design in putty to a monumental bronze work of art, and how a simple sketch inspires the creation of a fully expressive painting.

Slag heap and picknick spot Thor park Waterschei

The spoil tips in Genk are real beacons in the landscape. Do you know how they came about? These ‘mountains’ consist entirely of piles of waste rock removed from the different layers of the coal veins. If you see a spoil tip, there used to be a mine in the vicinity! These ‘waste mountains’ unexpectedly created their own microclimate, enabling you to discover a wide range of unique plants and animals over there today. The spoil tip was declared a protected landscape in 1999. You can climb to the very top. Don’t forget to wear sturdy shoes.

Thor is a very special urban park, noted for (among other things) its various cycle trails, footpaths and picnic spots. It’s a relaxing environment for employees on the site, but also for those living round about and for visitors who want to experience the area’s natural beauty.

Wandelgebied Lieteberg - Stiltestenen langs het pad

Wandelgebied Lieteberg

With the exception of the ‘Vierlandsherenpunt’, all hiking routes starting at the ‘Lieteberg’ fall outside the National Park. This does not mean they are not very charming natural areas on themselves. They are situated on the soft slanting southern hillside of the ‘Hoge Kempen’. Most heather has given way to pine forests, but you can still find some very nice relics of heather at the ‘Bezoensberg’. And the ‘Hesselberg’ contains the second biggest plantation of juniper. More to the south, the regions ‘Hoefaert’, ‘Roelen’ and ‘Gellik’ have a lot to offer. In ‘Hoefaert’ and ‘Roelen’ you will find some very diversified woodlands, whilst ‘Gellik’ is situated near the border with ‘Haspengouw’, which explains the amount of orchards around the villages.

Wilhelm Tell Waterparadijs - Wie durft zo snel in de stroomversnelling?

A water paradise for anyone who loves the sun and water!

You don’t need to be a water rat to enjoy yourself at this special water paradise. There’s so much to do you won’t know where to start jumping in and swimming. For the very smallest members of your family, there’s a lovely water playground. The outdoor baths are open from 1st July to 31st August. Then there’s also the wave pool, water playground, waterslide, fast-flowing river, water cannon and fountains.

When the weather is less fine, the indoor pool with its hot whirlpool is a great way to relax. And you can also get away from all that swimming and larking about and relax on the expansive sun lawn. The large terraces with catering facilities have great views out over the swimming paradise.
