Tips from the Community
Straight, quiet waterline with a smooth asphalt path stretching between greenery and canal. The row of trees on the left provides a soft, natural framing for the route, while the water on the right opens up the horizon. In the distance, a cooling tower dominates the landscape as an industrial landmark that gives the whole an unexpected grandeur.

Straight, fast canal strip along the Brussels–Scheldt Sea Canal, with wide sightlines and a smooth asphalt profile. The path runs parallel to the water, forming a clearly recognizable corridor between Humbeek and Vilvoorde. The industrial elements along the canal — bridges, locks, towers — give the route a distinctly linear character.

Willebroek Canal, not at all enthusiastic about the track and the environment. It's industrial.
