Stimulus Path

OVERVIEW Nature and recreation
Stimulus Path

Experience nature along the route that was created for children and young people with a disability. The Stimulus Path starts at the Flemish Visitors Centre ‘De Watersnip’. Along the walking route you will pass 12 "experience elements". They include touch boxes, a sound labyrinth, a wiglo, a visual wall, touching stones, etc. Visitors are stimulated with scents, sounds (or silence), colours, structures, movements, etc. The five senses play a central role in the development of children.

The Stimulus Path is fun for everyone, especially for families with young children. Part of the path runs through the playground at the Koersels Kapelleke.

You can borrow a guide book from the visitors centre during the opening hours of 'De Watersnip'. You can also explore the Stimulus Path with a nature guide. The path is about 2.5 km long and can easily be done with an all-terrain buggy.

Recreatieoord 't Fonteintje - speeltuin

Recreatieoord 't Fonteintje

Many people know the recreation resort as ‘het kapelleke’ because it developed around the chapel of Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-aan-de-staak. This chapel has been a place of pilgrimage since 1826.
Yet there is more: the lookout tower is central in this woody area. Those who climb the almost 30 metre high tower can look out across the typical Kempen landscape. The domain includes a playground, miniature golf, trick pin bowling, a splashing pond and several lovely campsites for youth clubs. Sports-lovers can use the fit-o-meter or do some orienteering.

Beeldentuin Staf Timmers - Beeldentuin Staf Timmers

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.

Real daredevils then whizz down the gigantic chutes at dizzying speed. New ar the Super Aqua Wizz and the Black Hole & Star Glide! A huge splash in the flume pool gives a kick to both young and old!

Park Molenheide: Saraland: indoor minigolf "De Mijn" - Indoor minigolf De Vergeten Mijn

Park Molenheide: Saraland: indoor minigolf "De Mijn"

ndoor Golf Adventure "The Mine" is the newest attraction at Park Molenheide and winner of the THEA-award for outstanding achievement worldwide in 2009.

An adventurous golf cours, built like a mine, where light, smell, sound and movement play an important role. An elevator will bring you to an altitude of 7,5 m where the search for Carlo Carbone, the miner, can begin.

You will descend three meters by making your way through mine shafts outfitted with a creaking conveyor belt, a rusty sorting machine and a shack of a power room that seems as it could cave in at any moment. Pickaxes and boots are strewn along the pathways. The path vibrates because of the drilling and the machine room is still full of activity.

Like a miner you descend into the mine while playing and discovering many types of mines like diamond and gold mines. You can even meet some dinosaurs.

The ideal trip for young and old.
