    The terril of Waterschei, in the Thor Park hiking area, is an old spoil heap that bears witness to Genk's rich mining past. The stones come from the surrounding layers of the coal veins. The slag heap has been protected since 1999, but you can climb it. Source and info: visitlimburg.be/nl/wat-te-doen/wandelen-thor-park

        A more than beautiful area to walk with lots of variety. Make sure you grease your legs for the climbs and descents
