July 30, 2024,Scheldekastelenroute in Klein Brabant (van thuis uit)

The slightly too warm weather invites you to cycle. So we set off past castles and villages on the Scheldt.
We base ourselves on the Scheldt Castles cycling route (scheldeland.be/fietsen-scheldekastelen) but adapt it slightly so that we can leave from home. We have omitted the Hof castle in Melis in Lippelo because it was too close to us and well …

August 27, 2024,Tour à vélo à Kasteel Marnix de Sainte Aldegonde

Very nice bike ride in the Puurs region. For part of the journey, you follow the Scheldt and pass the Breendonk fort, Ursel castle and the Bornem and Liezele forts. A large part of the route is on cycle paths, which makes it very pleasant. Recommended in good weather for the coolness of the route.

October 25, 2022,🇧🇪 Scheldedijk (Scheldedeich) Runde ab Brücke Temse

As the penultimate tour of our holiday in Belgium, we did the Scheldt dike bike tour today.
Half of the tour goes directly along the dyke along the Scheldt, with a view of the water. Just the way I like it. 🤗

Drie kastelen, twee forten en één machtige rivier. De Scheldekastelenroute heeft heel wat te bieden. Een hele dag lang trekken we langs deze poëtisch meanderende tocht langs de rivier en haar vele troeven.
 
De startplaats van vandaag ligt aan de Abdij van Bornem, een plek die 400 jaar geschiedenis ademt
