Biestebroeck Quay

Highlight • Cycleway

A quiet quay unfolds here along the Brussels-Charleroi Canal, lined with poplars and offering views of houseboats and redeveloped warehouses. Once an industrial transshipment zone, it is now a transition area between water, greenery, and urban renewal. The quay marks the beginning of the Biestebroeck district, where old warehouses are making way for new housing projects and workshops. Ideal for a short break or a glimpse of Brussels' changing canal landscape.

Ruisbroek Lock

Highlight • Structure

Lock number 9 and associated bridge over the Brussels-Charleroi canal, rising until the early 1930s.
Current lock with heavy walls of regularly cut natural stone blocks, funnel-shaped course at the entrance and exit of the lock basin with metal gates and iron railings. Concrete jetty with bollards.
In 1940 the bridge was blown up by the English army, but later repaired.

Cycle Path Along the Charleroi-Brussels Canal near Drogenbos

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Cycling along the Charleroi-Brussels canal at Drogenbos offers a pleasant, flat route with a constant view of the water. The cycle path runs largely car-free and quietly along the canal banks, where you occasionally see a passing boat and are surrounded by green areas and industrial elements.
