ウィッレブルークのおすすめツーリングルート

確かに、多くの鳥がここに生息しています...

雄大なスヘルデ川の素晴らしい眺め

サイクリストにとって、これは短くも印象的な瞬間です。リフトで上がり、橋を渡り、反対側で再びリフトで下ります。垂直方向の動きが、ライドのリズムを一時的に中断させます。この橋はヴィルフォールデの高架橋のすぐ後ろにあり、広大なインフラの景観の中で、小さくも目を引く存在となっています。この名前は、4月にヴィルフォールデの上空に帰ってくるアマツバメの一種であるツバメ、そしてフレデリック・ヴァンクローターのトーテム名「面白いツバメ」に由来しており、この作品に個人的な深みを与えています。

登頂後の眺めはただただ素晴らしい

The Humbeek-Sas lift bridge is a classic metal lift bridge that spans the Brussels–Scheldt Sea Canal in Humbeek, a sub-municipality of Grimbergen. Built in 1968, it is one of three identical lift bridges on the canal, along with: Brielen Bridge (Tisselt) Verbrande Bridge (Grimbergen) All three share the same dimensions: 38.4 m long and 11.6 m wide.

One of the best options if you are on a racing bike.

The castle was built by the Spanish nobleman Don Pedro Coloma and still exudes its former grandeur. Philippe de Marnix, Lord of Sainte Aldegonde, was the right-hand man of Prince William of Orange. He played a key role during the siege and fall of Antwerp in 1585 while mayor of the city. He is also mentioned as a possible author of the Wilhelmus, the Dutch national anthem.

Perhaps you've already spotted a small tower from afar, proudly rising above the greenery and the Rupeldijk. The tower belongs to Den Bocht Castle, situated in a bend in the Rupel River. However, this small castle wasn't the first structure on this site. A 16th-century map already shows two moated farms: De Bocht Farm and the old stone fortress Steendere, which some even believe dates back to Roman times. Remnants of this can be recognized as a large body of water just behind the Rupeldijk.
