The Enghien park (or the Arenberg Estate) is a 182-hectare estate located in the Belgian municipalities of Enghien and Silly[1], created between 1630 and 1665 by the Arenberg family. Acquired by the municipality in 1986, it is now accessible to the public. An exceptional green space, it is dotted with bodies of water, gardens, and buildings covering nearly 400 years of history.

The Église Saint-Nicolas is the main church in Enghien, located in the city center near the market square. Originally built in the 14th and 15th centuries, the church has been restored and expanded several times over the centuries, combining Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements. The interior is richly decorated with stained glass windows, a magnificent pulpit, and sculptures of saints, and also contains the tombs of local noble families. Together, these elements make the Église Saint-Nicolas part of Enghien's religious and cultural heritage.

The Deux-Acren lock is the last one before the Dender River enters Flanders. After both Geraardsbergen and the upstream Walloon village of Deux-Acren were hit by a devastating flood in 2010 (which even claimed one life), plans were drawn up to carry out flood protection works on the Dender. Progress in Wallonia progressed faster than in Flanders: the dam works in Deux-Acren were completed in 2017.

From the Deux-Acren drawbridge to the 3rd bridge, you'll apparently be on Ravel 87. You don't have to drive to Lessines! It's signposted!
