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.

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.

Piraten minigolf - zicht op een hole van de piratenminigolf

De Vuvuzela. Welcome!

A new wave trend has spread over from America and Asia. The tight courses make way for their own imagination and the most diverse, natural forms.
In 2011 Ollevier & co made the first Country miniature golf of the Benelux, "De Piratenminigolf" in Ham. This minigolf consists of 18 well-kept holes.
The border was made with Grauwacke rocks. The substrate is very close to artificial grass on a water-permeable gravel surface.
The course is quietly situated in the Hamse woods, with a view of the nearby garden and pond center Ollevier & co and the garden and bicycle cafe De Vuvuzela.
This makes the Pirate Mini Golf a very suitable relaxation for groups and individuals. You can also have something to drink or eat in the African garden and bicycle cafe De Vuvuzela.
There is also the possibility to make use of different arrangements of PindaPinda, such as birthday parties, family parties, company outings, school parties, etc.

Corpus: picnic spot Kattevennen

Tucked away in Kattevennen just behind the Visitor Centre you’ll find a picnic spot with a difference. Named Corpus, it was designed by nature artist Will Beckers. Visitors sit cheek by jowl in a large mown circle, cocooned by a sculpture made of corten steel and tree branches. A unique experience!
“Corpus embodies the growth process between Man and Culture by making a connection with Nature.” – Will Beckers
If you prefer not to lug your own picnic around, why not order a picnic basket packed with goodies from the C-mine Visitor Centre? It will be delivered to you free of charge.
