    Water a blessing and a curse…

    In order to remedy this shortcoming and to facilitate the passage of shipping, it was decided in 1967 to straighten part of the Dender route, so that the Dender would no longer flow into the Scheldt in the city center.



    In 1978 a new Dender estuary with a weir and a lock with lifting doors was realized in the Sint-Onolfspolder. The Dender has been adapted here for ships up to 1,250 tons and the total length of the lock complex is approximately 500 meters. The old Dendermonding in the city center was filled in.



    The towpaths along Dender and Scheldt are frequently used by walkers and cyclists. Thanks to an easy river connection near the Tijsluis, holidaymakers can easily continue their journey along the water here.
