View of the River Scheldt

Highlight • Viewpoint

Through the Netherlands,
To the wide, deep sea,
The beautiful Scheldt flows
She brings health and life!
We rejoice:
O Scheldt! O Scheldt!
O mighty beautiful flood,
Hail!

Esplanade - Sint-Amands Quay

Highlight • Viewpoint

Along the banks of the authentic village of Sint-Amands is one of the most beautiful bends of the Scheldt, a picturesque landscape made famous by the successful television series 'Stille Waters'. This series refers to the special moment when the flow of the river, between ebb and flow, seems to stand still for a moment. A striking sight along these banks is the mausoleum of the village poet Emile Verhaeren, a dignified place with a beautiful view of the meandering Scheldt.

Interestingly, here you can also enjoy a unique experience called 'bank hopping'. The triangular ferry between Mariekerke, Moerzeke and Sint-Amands allows you to travel to the other side of the river in no time, giving you the opportunity to explore various scenic locations along the Scheldt.

The new Bogaerd Bridge, between the Gedempte and the still open Dender in Dendermond's inner city, dates from 2014. It was designed after a copy of the Vlasmarkt Bridge, with a typical iron construction in a triangular shape that towers above the bridge.

Sint-Onolfsdijk Along the Scheldt

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Sint-Onolfsdijk is located northwest of the city of Dendermonde and follows the Scheldt. Until 1968-1978, the dike extended to the city until it was intersected by the re-canalised Dender and a new Dender estuary and tidal lock were built.
The dike was popularly known as Kolendijk or Notendijk, referring to the cultivation of red and white cabbage during the First World War and the walnut trees on the dike, which have since disappeared. The extensive and underlying Sint-Onolfspolder, bordered by the Scheldt, covers an area from Dendermonde to Appels, the boundaries of which were definitively established by MB of 05.02.1987.

Appels Ferry

Highlight • Rest Area

A picturesque ferry (protected heritage!) in a picturesque setting. The film 'De Teleurgang van de Waterhoek', based on the book by Stijn Streuvels, was filmed here in 1971.

Cyclists/pedestrians can cross the Dender here via this lock. There is a shelter and picnic bench at the lock (St Onolfspolder side).
