Lanaye Lock

Highlight • Monument

From fort Eben Emael you can see how big this lock of Klein Ternaaien actually is. There are many cycling routes that pass here, towards Visé and also on the other side along the Albert canal to Kanne.

Albert Canal Towpath at Kanne

Highlight • Cycleway

You arrive at a towpath along the Albert Canal, nice view to the steep rock wall in which a bunker has been made that is part of the fortress Eben-Emael. You imagine yourself somewhere in the south of France, although you are in Belgium but you are only 5 km from Maastricht, very nice bike ride.

Albert Canal

Highlight • River

Super nice cycle path next to the Albert Canal. This canal is 130 kilometres long and connects Liège with Antwerp. Fun fact: It was named after King Albert I and has played an important role in Belgian freight transport since 1939.

Originally built to connect steel factories and coal mines: today this canal is good for around 40 million tonnes of freight per year.

With six locks and space for ships up to 9,000 tonnes, it is an impressive piece of infrastructure!

Like the French buildings of the 16th century, it was built in the shape of a pentagon and is surrounded by an impressive protective structure against tank attacks.

Visé Marina

Highlight • Structure

The Visé marina, located halfway between Liège and Maastricht, is located along the connecting canal of the Albert and Meuse canal via the small lock of Visé.
The marina is ideally located at the crossroads of two main waterways, the Meuse and the Albert Canal, and is easily accessible to boaters in the north of the country, as well as to the Dutch and the French.
