The bridge over the Albert Canal in Vroenhoven is a special place. Two important events come together here: the beginning of the Second World War in Belgium and the history of inland navigation.

Would you like to know why the Second World War started for Belgium in Southeast Limburg? Then take the time for an important and tragic piece of history in the WWII experience center and listen to the exciting stories of soldiers and civilians.

In the inland navigation experience center you can learn more about the Belgian waterways and the history of this important form of transport for goods and people.

Do you need a break after so much knowledge? Then just go "under the bridge" - because that's exactly what the little cafeteria is called "Onder de Brug" with a beautiful view of the Albert Canal.
