    Nice wide towpath along the Dessel Kwaadmechelen Canal. Courtesy is appropriate here. Enjoy together, but everyone at their own pace.
    Historical interpretation:
    The Dessel-Kwaadmechelen Canal is a 15.7 km long canal in Belgium. It connects the canal intersection in Dessel with the Albert Canal in Kwaadmechelen (municipality of Ham). It is one of the seven Kempen canals between the Maas and the Scheldt. It flows through four municipalities: Dessel, Mol, Balen and Ham.


    When completed in 1858 it was part of the Branch Canal to Hasselt. It has a gabarite of 2,000 tons, does not contain any locks and has a bend near the connection with the Albert Canal. In Dessel it connects to two Kempen canals: the Bocholt-Herentals Canal and the Dessel-Turnhout-Schoten Canal.
