André Dumont Coal Mine (Waterschei) – Thor Park

Highlight • Historical Site

Thor Central is an impressive industrial building. After the hard coal plants were closed, it was considered a cultural heritage.
A restaurant, a brasserie and the Food Plaza invite you to stay and are open every day.

Beautiful place to take a nice walk on the roof of the mine, where the Black gold used to be brought up. Much respect to the miners.

Hoge Kempen lookout tower (As)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful section where the bike path is a little narrower (by Belgian standards). You drive along the tracks of a narrow-gauge railway, at a memorial in honor of a crashed Lancaster and at a lookout tower.
