Between Turnhout and Overpelt, no fewer than seven Kempen canals connect the Scheldt with the Meuse. They are important as a transport route, but also for the irrigation of the dry sandy Kempen soil with the calcareous Meuse water. On high dykes you cycle undisturbed along the large forest and dune areas of the Kempen.
