    Hiking

    In the bluestone cover plate on the brick walls on either side of the "Planckendam bridge" over the Oude Mandel, two cartouches are chiselled with the year "1941" and the image of a snail.
    The bridge was built in 1941 by a German engineering unit (whose emblem was a snail), to replace an older bridge that had been blown up by Belgian troops during the retreat over the Oude Mandel in 1940.
    On the west side of the bridge there is a lock to prevent the flooding of the meadows of the Oude Mandel.
