Can be busy and cars always have priority at intersections. Otherwise a nice towpath

Northern Section of the Schoten-Dessel Canal

Highlight • Cycleway

Less dense "traffic" than the piece between st. Lenaerts and schoten. But less places to take a break aswell.

Beautiful location where owner and ex-cycling pro Kris Boeckmans runs Café Fringale and wants to create an environment where everyone, from non-cyclists to the World Tour, feels welcome.

Something that has been a success, definitely recommended!
