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.

Donkey-tours (also for the disabled)

Ever been out with a donkey? Experience nature in a unique way with a donkey as a guide. The walks continue in the beautiful, wooded area of Bosland. Our long-ears give you a different view of your walking experience. After the success of these walks we have decided that they should be accessible to everyone and we have proceeded to the purchase of an "escargoline". This lightweight trolley can be used on any terrain and is propelled by a sweet long-ear. Two children, a disabled person and / or a senior, can sit comfortably and, together with family or friends, go over heather and through forest. Moreover, our friend is happy to carry the picnic. After your adventure you are of course welcome in the home of our donkeys. There you can enjoy our traditional fresh ice cream. Do you dare to take on this challenge? Do not hesitate to contact us. We provide a tailor-made walk.

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.
