Tips

July 13, 2025

The brand-new "floating" Saspoort Bridge has been open since the end of June, and from here you have the best view and plenty of information about it: a brand-new observation tower with a small staircase.

The old concrete bridge will remain standing for a while longer, and you can still admire the locks and the section of the old fortifications behind it. Afterward, all the photos of it on Komoot will be witnesses to a past.

And now, enjoy that view and the new bridge that connects the city to Schoonaarde (a hamlet between Diest and Schaffen) with a road over the Demer River, the Zwarte Beek River, and the railway, after which it briefly runs parallel to the railway line to Tessenderlo, now used solely by industry.
