Thorpark - blue - 7,4 km

Thorpark is an area of 10 km² behind the former mine of Waterschei. The area has so many qualities that it will connect to the National Park. Here you will find everything the Hoge Kempen has to offer: spoil heaps amid heathland and pine woodlands, a beautiful stream valley, junipers, and continental dunes. Some striking buildings enhance the landscape: the children's colony of As and the coal mine of Waterschei (Thor Central). You can already do extensive hiking here, but a gateway in the familiar style of the other gateways is (not yet) present.
