The Charleroi-Brussels canal is of historical and geographical importance for the development of the coal mines and metal industry in Belgium. With this route you can breathe in the past of Belgium, but you also get to see a few remarkable constructions such as the technological masterpiece the Inclined Plane of Ronquières.
Because the ride is 100% along the canal, you will not be bothered by climbing meters. The trail is not in perfect condition everywhere, but it is paved everywhere.
