The Kattenvennen in Genk, a delightful discovery tour! With our four-year-old daughter, we went in search of the Stokkenman, the mysterious wooden figure who lives somewhere in the forest. Just the idea of it made the family walk of 4.2km a great adventure for her. Kattenvennen is one of the gateways to the Hoge Kempen National Park, but it feels especially like a place where you can breathe freely. Spacious forests, soft paths, bird sounds everywhere... and occasionally a surprise behind the trees. While we enjoyed the peace, our daughter ran ahead enthusiastically: 'Where is the Stokkenman?!' With the help of an app, a game booklet, or a storybook, you discover the mysterious Stokkenmen in the forest and learn the story of these special beings. The Stokkenman Trail also takes you through the most beautiful spots of Kattevennen. Kattevennen is perfect for families: not too strenuous, super beautiful, and every corner feels like a new story begins. Ideal for an afternoon away from the hustle and bustle - just being together, walking, and marveling. Highly recommended, with or without a little treasure in tow.
