Low-traffic route. This route was once a peat canal.
More information in the highlight 'Transport of Peat' and 'Vaartgeld'
Now you can enjoy agricultural smells and colors.

Anyone who looks carefully around this car-free lane can discover a hidden history about our medieval fuel 'Peat'.
You can read the history at the picnic area 'Vaartgeld'.

In short: Long before there was Belgium or the Netherlands, peat was extracted for almost 5 centuries in the triangle of Antwerp, Geertruidenberg and Willemstad. In 1263, the first spade was dug into the peat. An entire layer of landscape was excavated in the search for fuel. tangible witnesses to the peat past include peat canals.
There was once a peat canal with a towpath at this location. Peat from the peat areas north of Zundert was transported via this canal to the peat head of Leur. The canal was dug around 1408. Once the area was peat-peated, there was no need for maintenance. Large parts of this peat canal are no longer recognizable in the landscape. But sometimes still as a road like this, the Schuitvaartjaagpad.
The name of this road is a lasting reminder of the peat past.
