    Tips

    The Charleroi-Brussels canal is a Belgian class IV large gauge canal, accessible to convoys of 1,350 tonnes. 47.9 km long for its Walloon part, it connects Brussels to Charleroi and is part of a north-south axis connecting the port of Antwerp, via the maritime canal from Brussels to the Scheldt, on the one hand to the Sambre valley (Charleroi, Namur, Liège), and on the other hand in Mons and in the north of France (Lille, Dunkirk) via the Canal du Center and the Strépy-Thieu lift. This canal and its history have been studied and described in particular by engineer André Sterling.
    The most remarkable work is the Ronquières Inclined Plan.
