Burgemeestershuis met park - Burgemeesterspark

Burgemeesterspark

Burgemeesterspark (Mayor’s Park) is a green lung in the middle of town. Close to the Burgemeestershuis and Sint-Pietersbanden Church. This atmospheric city park with monumental trees and artful park residents, is Lommel’s chill out and picnic spot par excellence when the sun in shining.

Art and music are never far away in Burgemeesterspark. Designed by landscape architect Paul Deroose and it is inhabited by ‘De Buitenmens’. A statue by Henk Visch whose crazy posture captures the attention at once.

Tip: Burgemeesterspark is also the ideal spot to listen to the carillon concerts on Wednesday afternoons.

Landmarks - Landmark Iers Kruis

Landmarks

Our unique landscape played an important role in the history of our region. The most tracks of the past are disappeared or cannot be recognized anymore. Now we find all the information, in pictures and text, on the Landmarks, information cubes spinning on border community posts.

Some locations have already received an extra construction, like the Irish Cross in Lafelt, where an audio presentation in open air brings the bloody Battle of Lafelt back to life.

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.

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.

Picknicken - picknick aan kasteel

Picnic

There are many delightful picnic spots in and around Bilzen and especially Alden Biesen, that you can use the whole year round. Just take a seat at one of the brand-new picnic tables in the English park, sit on the lawn with a view of the castle, or choose your picnic spot in the largest orchard in Flanders.
A path of about 2 km enables even persons with reduced mobility to enjoy the fruit trees in their full splendour. They can explore them up close using the raised wooden footpath that winds its way through the orchard.
You can bring your own picnic or you can order a basket from the Bilzen Tourist Information Centre carefully composed of the most delicious local products (to be collected during opening hours of the Tourist Information Centre).

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.
