Thorpark is an area of 10 km² located behind the former Waterschei mine. Here you will find everything that the Hoge Kempen has to offer: mine rock mountains in the midst of heath and pine forests, a beautiful stream valley, juniper berries and inland dunes. Striking is the building of the coal mine of Waterschei (Thor Central).
