I have just discovered this path which connects several towns all along the canal. In summer without much effort, smooth path. You can easily do tens of km, or even more. Pure pleasure!

Ruisbroek Lock

Highlight • Structure

Lock number 9 and associated bridge over the Brussels-Charleroi canal, rising until the early 1930s.
Current lock with heavy walls of regularly cut natural stone blocks, funnel-shaped course at the entrance and exit of the lock basin with metal gates and iron railings. Concrete jetty with bollards.
In 1940 the bridge was blown up by the English army, but later repaired.
