Cycling

The Bocholt-Herentals Canal (also known as Kempisch Canal or Maas-Schelde Canal) was first part of the Kempische Vaart (1846). In the 1930s, the western part merged into the Albert Canal or was filled in. The eastern part remained, was widened and deepened (1926-8) and received its current name. However, it lost its role as the only waterway between the industry around Liège and the port of Antwerp. From then on, a lot of traffic was taken over by the shorter and modern Albert Canal.

The canal connects to the Albert Canal and the Zuid-Willemsvaart. In addition, it is connected to three other Kempen canals:

the Dessel-Turnhout-Schoten canal in Dessel
the Dessel-Kwaadmechelen canal in Dessel …
