Nice little lock on the Sambre. Be careful, the path between locks 2 and 3 is extremely bad and a real torture with full luggage, especially after bad weather. There is also a crossing option here.

Here the cycle path along the Sambre is good for cycling. Unfortunately, it is not always like this.

The Sambre is a pretty river which flows from France towards Belgium to flow into the Meuse. Its original winding route has been modified and some of its meanders have been rectified throughout its history. Its towpaths offer beautiful strolls in the Avesnois bocage.

Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand could be helpful and useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature - for various purposes and thus be able to do without human or animal muscle power. Mills like these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: the heavy millstones used to grind grain into corn or press oil, for example, could be powered by the wind or - as here - water.

Towpath in good condition. Several places to walk along the Sambre away from the urban excitement.
