Here you have a view of the Beneden-Nete with wide reed beds just before it will form the Rupel together with the Dijle.

Here, the Dyle, Zenne, and Leuven-Dyle Canals converge to flow into the Rupel via the Nete. Cyclist and pedestrian bridges allow you to cross all these waterways safely, avoiding any detours. There's also a picnic table at the lock. Besides an idyllic hamlet, there's also a surprising nature reserve with rare mudflats and salt marshes. A beautiful area for walking.

In Vrijbroekpark, you'll find wooden structures and natural obstacles throughout the park, encouraging movement. They connect play areas like the playground and the traffic garden, ensuring a walk from the parking lot never has to be boring. Along the route, you'll encounter the renovated hotel ruins.

Batteliek is a Mechelen microbrewery, microdistillery, and lemonade housed in a former church. It's a wondrous place where alchemy and industry intertwine. Let your senses be captivated by the experimental kitchen and drinks, where new flavors are developed through trial and error.

The Zennegat: intersection of water safety and nature development The Zennegat lies where the Zenne River, the Leuven-Dijle Canal, and the Dijle River meet. This flood control area guarantees safety in the surrounding area and protects valuable natural resources. Channels, mudflats, and salt marshes here provide an ideal habitat for various plants and animals.
