Hiking
The Scheldt lock at Tournai plays a crucial role in regulating the water level and controlling the tides of the river. This infrastructure makes it possible to maintain a constant and secure flow for river navigation and contributes to flood prevention. The surrounding locks and marshes form natural habitats rich in biodiversity, attracting many birds and other species.
