Fort Liezele

Highlight • Historical Site

Please be patient, because the fort museum is currently being completely renovated, so a visit is unfortunately not yet possible. From May 1, 2023, Fort Liezele will offer a brand new and exceptional museum offering, where visitors can actively experience the history and life in the fort.

At this location you have a view of the starting point of the shortest river in Belgium - the Rupel. In the municipality of Schelle, only 12 km further Rupel gives way to the Scheldt. On the other side of the Scheldt lies Rupelmonde.

A bird paradise

Highlight • Natural

Where the Rupel, Nete and Dijle rivers meet, there is a moor with many water birds. A very beautiful place!

Beautiful bridge constructions over the Dijle and the Nete. The bridges are a very important link in the region for commuting and recreation.
Bridges connect people and landscapes. Know that it is quite busy here on weekends.

Zennegat

Highlight • River

Where the Zenne, the Leuven-Dijle canal and the Dijle flow into each other, lies the Zennegat, a non-conformist hamlet with artistic residents and a few brown pubs.

At this location you are at a historic lock.
The Leuven-Dijle Canal, which starts in the Leuven Vaartkom and ends here at the Zennegat, is one of the oldest canals in Belgium. After two years of digging, the first ship was launched here on July 23, 1753. The Zennegat lock has been there since the very beginning. There are not many places where you can admire such a well-preserved 18th century lock. All the more because the lock is of the rare 'belly lock' type. The name refers to the semi-circular recesses in the walls, which are provided on both sides to provide space for the opened lock doors. The old lock keeper's house is also still there.
