From the intersection in Dessel the canal runs via Turnhout to Schoten, this waterway has a length of 64 kilometers.
The height difference between Dessel and Schoten is 25.70 meters and is overcome by 10 lock complexes, all located on the Turnhout-Schoten route.
In addition to the Albert Canal and the Bocholt-Herentals Canal, the canal is connected to the Dessel-Kwaadmechelen Canal, which is an extension of it and which means it is also connected to the Albert Canal on the east side.

Beautiful cycle path along the canal, sometimes perfect new asphalt, sometimes a little older.
Almost only nature, little industry.

Mid-September 2022, at 11 degrees the fog is over the canal. Romantic!
