Hiking

The achievement of Napoleonic times. A great goal that was not accomplished. The connection from Antwerp to the Rhine.

Cycling

A sad remnant of the canal connection once planned by Napoleon, linking the Rhine and the Scheldt to circumvent Dutch customs duties. Shortly thereafter, he controlled all of Holland, and the canal project became unfinished and worthless.
