Genk
Situated on the edge of the Kempen region, Genk has retained its slag heaps and miners' houses. Although the closure of the huge Ford factory in late 2014 was a massive blow for the community, this town in Limburg province is doing its best to move forward. Genk is worth visiting most notably for the superb Molenvijverpark (15ha public gardens) and the C-Mine complex laid out around the former Winterslag mine, where the industrial heritage has been preserved and adapted.
