November 12, 2023,Wandelen in het land van Emile Verhaeren - Sint-Amands

This walk takes you along the banks of the Scheldt, through Sint-Amands and with an extension also through Mariekerke. The roads are partly paved (more than half), partly unpaved.
Note that a junction 90 was inserted between junctions 81 and 82; This has no consequences for the route, but may cause some confusion.
