The bends along the Dyle...

Translated by Google •

July 11, 2025

The landscape between Wijgmaal and Haacht, with its numerous remnants of meanders and the meandering Dyle River, has been recognized as a heritage site.

Along the lower reaches of the Dyle River and along the Leibeek between Wijgmaal and Hever (an old Dyle bed), sinuous strips of moist or peaty alluvium occur at regular intervals, which can be considered relics of large, incised meanders. They are clearly distinguishable in size and radius from the numerous horseshoe-shaped free meanders that were cut off from the Dyle in the relatively recent past.

The river banks along the Dyle are of a later date. They are slightly higher and consist of drier soil; here, there are often fields and habitation along narrow roads.

The Dyle meadows still contain traces of several paleomeanders. Inventory of Immovable Heritage: Dijle Valley between Wijgmaal and Haacht, id.erfgoed.net/erfgoedobjecten/300492
