Albert Canal towpath

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The towpaths are primarily service roads. They are necessary for the maintenance of canals, waterways, banks, quay walls and bridges. The towpaths are also public roads, mostly for walkers and cyclists only. The smooth and car-free cycling connections attract tourist cyclists, cyclists and walkers. Roller skaters and anglers, for example, also use the towpaths. Because of the mixed use of the towpaths, the users have to take each other into account.

Chapel of the Avenue

Highlight • Religious Site

In the wooded area of the castle, not far from the Kasteeldreef, stands the chapel in the avenue, dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes. It is generally assumed that the foundation took place around 1880 - 1882. What is certain is that the chapel was founded by order of Mr. Philippe Maria Joseph Herman van de Werve. He lived in the castle from 1850 to 1884. Architecturally, the chapel is a gem in neo-Gothic style. The interior, in which the inside of the tower was designed as a Lourdes grotto, is characteristic.

Borrekens Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle has been the pride of Vorselaar for centuries. Around 1270 the first stone was laid by the knights of Rotselaar. The ground plan has been largely preserved to this day. The castle is home to a treasure trove of history and stories, and has been inhabited ever since by noble families. The walking and cycling paths around the castle grounds are a major attraction in the municipality. The castle is surrounded by a green oasis. The beautiful Lindendreef takes you from the church of Vorselaar in a straight line to the castle. To keep the peace in the forest, traffic is not allowed here.
