Steenmannetjespad op Thor Park
Het Steenmannetjespad op Thor Park steekt in een nieuw jasje. De populaire wandelroute in Waterschei is uitgebreid met nieuwe steenmannetjes én er is nu ook een interactieve app voor kinderen. Daarin neemt ‘Steentje’ hen mee op pad, helemaal tot op de top van de terril. Stad Genk werkte voor het project onder andere samen met studenten van de LUCA School of Arts, het Regionaal Landschap Kempen en Maasland en het Agentschap voor Natuur en Bos.
Het Steenmannetjespad bestaat sinds 2013 en is 2 km lang. Rode draad vormen de steenmannetjes, dat zijn steenstapels die je vanop Thor Park de kortste weg wijzen naar de top van de terril. Wie de klim naar boven aandurft, wordt getrakteerd op een prachtig uitzicht.
