    Hiking

    The Albert Canal connects Liège with Antwerp. Here, in Diepenbeek, there is a lock complex with a drop of 10.10 meters and a total of three locks. There is also a pumping hydroelectric power station since 2021.

    You will also find remnants of the war here. Bunker D2 had to provide additional support for the locks that were constructed together with the canal. The bunker, like bunker D3, is located in the De Maten nature reserve. There were originally five bunkers within the bridgehead of the Diepenbeek lock on the Albert Canal, as you can read at tracesofwar.nl/sights/137165/Sluisbunker-Diepenbeek-D2.htm
