Very nice wide sandy strip which is also great in case of disappointment. Wonderful wide views on both sides of Mother Nature

From the intersection in Dessel the canal runs via Turnhout to Schoten, this waterway has a length of 64 kilometers. The height difference between Dessel and Schoten is 25.70 meters and is overcome by 10 lock complexes, all located on the Turnhout-Schoten route. In addition to the Albert Canal and the Bocholt-Herentals Canal, the canal is connected to the Dessel-Kwaadmechelen Canal, which is an extension of it and through which it is also connected to the Albert Canal on the east side.
