NAC (New Administration Center)

In Houthalen-Helchteren the past goes hand in hand with the future. As symbols of two major periods, they stand out over our community: the pit heads and the New Administrative Centre (NAC), which has even made it onto the list of ‘100 places in the world that you just have to see’.

This futuristic and at the same time sober, ecological and extremely functional building is located on the old mining site and houses among others the municipal services, the OCMW (Social Service Department), the library, VVV-Toerisme and the police. The observation point on the roof of the building's blue tower, an artistic spot with an extensive view over this community and the region, is called ‘het Oog van Daubechies’ ('the eye of Daubechies').

This tower is named after a resident of Houthalen-Helchteren: Ingrid Daubechies. In the stairway enclosure you will find more information on her brilliant and famed mathematical formulas.

Compressor Hall

In the heyday of black gold, the Compressor Hall was the pounding heart of the mine enterprise. In a sense it was also its lungs for at the time it housed the winding mechanism and the compressors, which (among other things) supplied the underground shafts with fresh air. So what happened in this space was of vital importance to the miners down the pit!

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.

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.

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.
