Charleroi-Brussels Canal

Highlight • River

The Charleroi-Brussels Canal, built in 1827, is a crucial waterway connecting Brussels and Charleroi. The canal starts at the Sambre River and ends at the Willebroek Canal, connecting Charleroi, La Louvière, Mons and the ports of Brussels and Antwerp. It bridges a height difference of 127 meters with the help of 55 locks and a tunnel. It flows through the Walloon Region, the Flemish Region and the Brussels-Capital Region. The most notable modernization was the commissioning of the 'Ronquières Inclined Plane' in 1968, which reduced the number of locks to 10.

The Enchanted Forest Mural (Het Betoverde Bos), Pacapime, Halle

Highlight • Monument

“The Enchanted Forest” is an impressive mural in Halle. It is located on the wall of the corrugated cardboard producer Pacapime along the Brussels-Charleroi canal. With an area of no less than 2000 square meters, it is one of the largest murals in Europe.
The artwork was created by the artist collective Treepack and tells the story of several children in an enchanted forest who find paper and cardboard among the waste with which they make origami animals. They dream of a better future in which people and nature live together in harmony. To their surprise, a magical spell brings the crafted animals to life. Children from the city of Halle served as models for the figures in the artwork.
