Confluence of the Grote Nete and the Kleine Nete

Highlight • River

The confluence of the Grote Nete and the Kleine Nete. As Felix Timmermans puts it: "where the three winding Nethen tie a silver knot". Downstream from Lier the river is simply called Nete or Beneden-Nete. At Rumst, this flows together with the Dijle to form the Rupel, which eventually flows into the Scheldt. On the Kleine Nete the tides are noticeable as far as Grobbendonk and on the Grote Nete up to Itegem.

Hof van Ringen

Highlight • Monument

Landgoed Hof van Ringen is located in a wooded area on the banks of the River Nete near the city of Lier and was built in 1840. The house has been thoroughly renovated and the park has been redesigned. Both the garden, where Dries can be found if he only has a little time, and the house are well worth a look. It is clear that he also gets a lot of inspiration for his designs here.

Nete in Lier

Highlight • River

Here you can always cycle or walk peacefully.
On warm days it can be a bit busier at certain times of the day but with mutual respect everything works out.

Barvest Park

Highlight • Natural

The Barvest is a restaurant and cafe located on the city walls. Since this section mainly features photos of the green belt that forms the city walls, which start and end here, here's some information.

The city ramparts are a 5 km long green walk around the center of Lier. A section of the city ramparts is a protected landscape. The Lier city ramparts largely follow the route of the second city wall from the first half of the 15th century. At that time, the ramparts primarily served a military function, providing protection against enemy cannon fire and raids. But the ramparts also had an economic importance: import and export duties were collected at the city gates. In the 19th century, the ramparts no longer served a military purpose and were dismantled. The ramparts between the Spui and the city park (towards Mechelsepoort) were lowered and planted with trees. The section between the city park and the Spui (towards Leuvensepoort) followed later. These spacious walking paths, known as the Begijnenvest, Davidsvest, Bergmannvest, Spuivest, Sionsvest, and the towpath along the Leuvensevest, together with the city park, form the green lung of the city center. A section of the ramparts is a protected landscape. A regent's decree from 1949. Now you'll mainly find trees like linden, red and green beech, oak, whitebeam, but also special species like pagoda tree. There used to be many elm trees, but they disappeared due to a disease. You can also admire several statues. On Davidsvest, you can admire Cadetje, a statue that refers to the former cadet school on the opposite side. Near Frederik Peltzerstraat is the statue of Anton Bergmann (lawyer and man of letters). Canon J.B. David (historian and linguist) has had his statue near Antwerpsestraat since 1923. The Chapel of St. Rita, near Mechelsestraat, was erected in 1948 in memory of Lier's political prisoners.

Groot Spui (Sashuis) Lier

Highlight • Monument

The lock had the function of water control of the city. It was built on the Kleine Nete, which crossed Lier. The water could be temporarily stored and then run through the city to drain the city, to rinse it clean. If there was a risk of flooding, the sluice could be closed and the water was led via a connecting channel to the Grote Nete, which made an arc around the city. In addition to the function of water control, it also had a role in the defense of the city. The building on the lock was originally used to house the lock keeper. Older inhabitants of Lieren also nicknamed it the pest house. However, this name was not chosen entirely correctly, the actual plague house was located a little further along the Grote Nete.
