Schelde Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridge, Wetteren

Highlight • Bridge

As a cyclist, you ride straight into the town hall.
The Scheldt pedestrian and cyclist bridge provides an elegant, modern crossing between the towpath and the center of Wetteren. The wide ramps eliminate the need for the old footbridge and stairs, giving the bridge a flowing, accessible line. From the highest point, you have an unobstructed view of the Scheldt, the dikes, and the green river plain.

St. Gertrude’s Church, Wetteren

Highlight • Religious Site

19th-century round-arched church with a tall tower, currently undergoing restoration. The scaffolding and protective coverings have been installed to protect the facade and surrounding area during the work.

Sunken country lane

Highlight • Trail

A quiet paved road, partly surrounded by raised earth and overgrown with grass. The rest is a dirt road with some gravel between the fields.

Gravel and dirt roads between Oordegem and Impe

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice route between Oordegem and Impe over some dirt roads between the meadows. Best to do with the touring bike, some pits here and there, but no tractor tracks.

Tragel Path Schelde (Schellebelle–Wetteren)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Less used than the traditional slow road, left downstream of the Scheldt (from Ghent to beyond Dendermonde). The "other side" is not complete, but some parts, such as this one between Schellebelle and Wetteren, are quite pleasant to cycle. And less crowded than "the other side"...

Footbridge over the Scheldt

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Before this new bridge was built, there used to be another bicycle bridge with stairs. Commonly known as "The passerelle". Many cyclists have cursed a number of times to get the bike up and down. For some, the Scheldt Bridge was a worthy alternative for cars, despite the detour.

Prullenbos Pond

Highlight • Lake

Great to stop when the weather is nice. Did you know that a lion lived in the Prullenbos until the mid-1980s?
