아플리젬 최고의 라이딩 경로

The Schiptrekkersbrug (Ship Tractors Bridge) spans the Dender River between Denderleeuw and Liedekerke, and is part of the Schiptrekkers cycling route. The bridge is named after the people who used to pull ships across the river using ropes and horses. It was a hard and impoverished profession, also performed by women and children. The Schiptrekkersbrug is a tribute to these people, who played an important role in the region's history. A heritage plaque on the bridge tells their story.
