    Moved to this little triangle of nature. If you want to cross the bridge to the left bank, take this detour. Little shade on summer days. You can see the old bridge that once crossed the Dender. You can also walk to the bottom of the current concrete bridge over the Dender. And there you will find a staircase to the top.

      The Wieze Bridge used to be more to the north over the now disappeared Sas van Wieze. This lock was built in 1768-1769 on the straightened Dender. In 1866 a wooden drawbridge was built over the lock. The SAS remained active until 1947.
      The current fixed girder bridge was built in 1972. The old drawbridge at the lock lost its function and was renovated in 1976 at the initiative of the Davidsfonds van Herdersem. its current location.

        Nice to know: about a kilometer further on, on the Aartstraat, at number 14, there is a mini replica (but still about one and a half meters (?) high).
