Beautiful view of the canal. When you cross the bridge towards the forest, on the left side there is a path down. There is a tunnel that goes under the mountain, which used to be used to transport sludge to the other side. Unfortunately it has become a bit dilapidated.

Hiking

The Pont de Lanaye is a modern bridge spanning the Albert Canal, connecting Belgium and the Netherlands at Lanaye (BE) and Maastricht (NL). The bridge offers stunning views of the canal, the locks, and the surrounding countryside. It's popular with hikers and cyclists crossing the border or simply enjoying the view over the water.

Tip: Combine your visit with a stop at the impressive locks of Lanaye or the nearby caves.
