The Charleroi-Brussels Canal is of historical-geographical importance for the development of coal mines and the metal industry in Belgium. With this route you will sniff out the past of Belgium, but you will also see a few remarkable constructions such as the technological masterpiece the Inclined Plane of Ronquières.
Because the ride runs 100% along the canal, you will not have much trouble with climbing meters. The path is not in perfect condition everywhere, but it is paved everywhere.

Cycle paths along the canals in Belgium are usually nice to ride on, provided the surface is right.
