    Hiking

    Here, the Dyle, Zenne, and Leuven-Dyle Canals converge to flow into the Rupel via the Nete. Cyclist and pedestrian bridges allow you to cross all these waterways safely, avoiding any detours. There's also a picnic table at the lock.
    Besides an idyllic hamlet, there's also a surprising nature reserve with rare mudflats and salt marshes. A beautiful area for walking.

    This canal has been connecting Leuven with the Dijle since 1753. Ten years after its opening, shipping began to flourish and traffic would continue to grow until after the First World War, when it steadily declined for several decades. However, targeted investments from 1996 onwards led to a clear change: today, around 250,000 tonnes of goods pass along the canal every year and it also plays a role in regional development and innovative projects, for example in remote control and the transport of containers, waste and building materials by barge.
