very nice path along the Meuse, where the stretch to Lixhe (quai du barrage) offers beautiful views of the Meuse valley and the hilly country in the east

View of the Albert Canal and bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ascent after the bridge is almost entirely through forest; once you've almost reached the top, this is the only opportunity to look down.

Lanaye Lock (Écluse de Lanaye)

Highlight • Structure

The Ternaaien Locks (French: Les écluses de Lanaye) are a collection of locks in Ternaaien, Belgium, on the border with the Netherlands near Maastricht. The locks are the junction between the Ternaaien Canal and the Albert Canal. The largest of the four locks, built in 2015, allows passage for ships of 9,000 tonnes, measures 225 metres long, 25 metres wide and has a draught of 13.68 metres.
At the locks, the Albert Canal was built with the Doorsteek van Caestert across the Sint-Pietersberg.

Albert Canal Towpath at Kanne

Highlight • Cycleway

You arrive at a towpath along the Albert Canal, nice view to the steep rock wall in which a bunker has been made that is part of the fortress Eben-Emael. You imagine yourself somewhere in the south of France, although you are in Belgium but you are only 5 km from Maastricht, very nice bike ride.

Kanne Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The current bridge was inaugurated on Friday, September 22, 2004, as a commemorative plaque indicates. Pedestrians don't have to walk it all the way from end to end thanks to the stairs. There are also benches on both sides of the bridge to take in the view over the water or just take a break.
