Tips

At this location you are standing at a historic lock. The Leuven-Dijle Canal, which starts in the Leuvense Vaartkom and ends here at the Zennegat, is one of the oldest canals in Belgium. After two years of digging, the first ship was launched here on 23 July 1753. The Zennegat lock has been there since the very beginning. There are not many places where you can still admire such a well-preserved 18th century lock. All the more so because the lock is of the rare 'buiksas' type. This name refers to the semi-circular recesses in the walls, which are provided on both sides to provide space for the open lock doors. The old lock keeper's house is also still there.

The Zennegat: intersection of water safety and nature development
The Zennegat lies where the Zenne River, the Leuven-Dijle Canal, and the Dijle River meet. This flood control area guarantees safety in the surrounding area and protects valuable natural resources. Channels, mudflats, and salt marshes here provide an ideal habitat for various plants and animals.
