    Tips

    October 30, 2023

    Regional Manager of Nature and Forests Veerle Heyens: “With the Salangaan Bridge we are eliminating the missing link of the Basilica Route, a green walking network between the Basilica of Vilvoorde and that of Grimbergen. Via a nine kilometer long trail you walk through the Hanssens Park and the Cargill Park on the right bank, and the Drie Fonteinen domain, the Tangebeekbos, the Prinsenbos and by extension the Lintbos on the left bank."

      On February 17, 2023, the bicycle and pedestrian bridge was inaugurated. The double bascule bridge connects park 3 Fonteinen with the site 4 Fonteinen. The bridge is high enough to allow most ships to pass through. Cyclists have a lift available on both sides to take the bridge.

      The bridge is named after the salanga, a kind of swift. Every year you can see them flying above Vilvoorde from April, when they come back from their hibernation. The name is a reference to the deceased Frederik Vanclooster (1998-2020), resident of Vilvoorde. His totem name at Scouts en Gidsen Vilvoorde was 'entertaining salanga'.
