Deep in the woods around Thor Park and the Klaverberg, the old train tracks still lie, silent witnesses to Genk's industrial past. These tracks were once the lifeblood of the Waterschei coal mine: wagons full of coal, and sometimes even workers, would rush along the rails, connecting them to the rest of Limburg and Belgium. Today, the tracks are abandoned and partly overgrown with moss, ferns, and young trees. The contrast between the rusty steel and the green vegetation makes it a particularly photogenic landscape. During walks, you can follow the tracks along winding forest paths, sometimes almost completely hidden by fallen leaves and undergrowth. The old train tracks are more than just decorative: they tell a story of labor, industry, and the transformation of the landscape. Hikers experience both the tranquility of the forest and the historical power of the industrial past, making every step along the tracks feel like a connection between then and now.

Thor Central is the central building and information point of Thor Park, the repurposed industrial site of the former Waterschei coal mine in Genk. The building forms the beating heart of the park and is a blend of modern architecture and historical industrial heritage. Thor Central tells the story of the transformation of an active mine into an innovative and recreational zone where technology, science, and recreation converge. The original Waterschei mine played a crucial role in Genk's economy throughout the 20th century. Thousands of miners worked here daily in difficult conditions to extract coal from the depths. With the closure of the mines, the site was gradually repurposed, and Thor Park emerged as a center for innovation, entrepreneurship, and recreation. Thor Central serves as an access point and information hub for visitors: you'll find explanations about the industrial past, walking routes through the park, educational exhibitions, and events about science and technology.

https://www.visitlimburg.be/de/was-tun/thor-central "Thor Central is a powerful, impressive industrial building that was considered a cultural heritage site after the closure of the coal mines. The task of giving this beautiful building a new future was also part of the search for a meaningful purpose for the Waterschei mining site and the option of transforming this site into a technology park. Thor Central is the beating heart of the Thor Park site. The Food Plaza is particularly worth visiting, with Restaurant Partaasch and Brasserie Lampada, which are open daily to the public. Furthermore, the building has been given a primarily business-oriented layout, with meeting rooms, an auditorium, a central reception, and even a daycare center. Events and exhibitions are regularly organized here."

Beautiful view over the surroundings
