Parking: Thorpark, André Dumontlaan Waterschei (Genk)

Signage: Junction points.

Walking through the Hoge Kempen National Park.

Departure is at the former, impressive mining site of Waterschei, which has been beautifully renovated. A large part of the walk goes through the forests, where it can be a bit muddy at times, but overall it is manageable. At the end, you walk several hundred meters over boardwalks. Nice walk.

Rest benches at 1.5/3.2/6.9 and 8.2 km

Bonus: Charging stations for electric vehicles.
