The Schiptrekkersbrug is a bridge over the Dender between Denderleeuw and Liedekerke, which is part of the Schiptrekkers cycle route. The bridge is named after the people who used to pull ships across the river using ropes and horses. It was a hard and poor profession, which was also practiced by women and children. The Schiptrekkers Bridge is a tribute to these people, who played an important role in the history of the region. There is a heritage sign on the bridge that tells their story.

The ship tractors bridge is a bicycle bridge over the Dender. The inhabitants of Denderleeuw are called ship tractors. In the past, ships were pulled by manpower by bony fellows from the towpath. Denderleeuw is located on the left bank and Liedekerke on the right bank.
