20의 에스팀푸이스가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Sint-Pietersbrugje는 1892년에 지어졌습니다. 2019-2020년에 매우 철저한 복원을 거쳤으며, 작업장으로 옮겨 신중하게 세척하고 샌드블라스팅하기 위해 분해해야 했습니다. 또한 일부 부품은 교체되고 수동으로 리벳 처리되었습니다. 전체 구조에는 1,000개 이상의 리벳이 사용되었습니다. 마지막으로 다리에는 눈에 띄는 Brunswick 녹색의 보호 페인트 층이 칠해졌는데, 이는 다리의 원래 색상입니다. 출처: vlaamsewaterweg.be

The Roubaix Canal, or the Espierres Canal, as it's called in French or Belgian, forms part of the link between the Deûle River in France and the Scheldt River in Belgium. In 1843, the two canals were connected between Leers, France, and Leers-Nord, Belgium. Despite damage sustained during the two world wars, the canal was the pinnacle of the region's textile industry for over a hundred years, transporting coal from Belgium to numerous French factories. In Leers-Nord, Belgium, the workers who pulled the coal-laden barges were called "satcheux" (sailors). Next to the lock keeper's house, a stone's throw from France, the crossing point between France and Belgium, a customs guardhouse was built. Customs officers were present to inspect the numerous goods transported by barge. After the decline of the textile industry in the 1970s and 1980s, the canal gradually lost its usefulness and was closed to shipping in 1983. In the early 2000s, the canal was the subject of a cross-border rehabilitation project to allow tourist boats to pass through again. As part of the Interreg Blue Links project, a collaboration between France, Flanders, and Wallonia, it was flooded again. The final works were completed in 2011, and navigation reopened. Since the early 20th century, the Roubaix/Espierres Canal has been a place of conviviality, walking, and fishing for cross-border residents and commuters. Consequently, strong public opposition has arisen to the plan to convert the canal into a motorway. Source: www.caue-nord.com

Love the "Nicest Place from Zwevegem" sign!

Beautiful old drawbridge. Very nostalgic.🥰

The Sint-Pietersbrug on the old arm of the Bossuit-Kortrijk canal is one of the most beautiful spots in Zwevegem. The bridge dates from 1892 and is a protected monument. It is a rare example of an iron lifting bridge with an open truss construction that was once operated manually.

For a cycling tourist, the arrival at the Roubaix velodrome is also a great moment. Even after dozens of times!

For the legend this race is, and how normal in fact the velodrome is...
