Hiking

The Astense Sas is a picture: a historic drawbridge over the Leie that is still operated manually, a well-preserved lock, plus a ship cafe full of curiosities and ship attributes. See also astene-sas.be

Hiking

The lock dates from 1876, when the passage of 100 meters was dug to save about 5 km in bends. A weir and a lock were built on the canalized section. The original wooden drawbridge was replaced in 1896. The locks, with cross-reinforcement and wooden lift valves, are manually operated. There are also two lock master houses on the lock itself, dating from the 1860s, one of which now houses a small museum run by the non-profit organization Historische Vaartuigen.
