Damiaan Bridge and Father Damien Statue

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful bridge, decorated with a sculpture by Father Damien.
It is an interesting place on your walk. Several hiking nodes come together here. Ideal opportunity to change your route and make the crossing.

Pater Damiaan Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Damiaanbrug is a steel girder bridge for pedestrians and bicycles over the Dyle on the border of the municipalities of Haacht and Tremelo in the Belgian province of Flemish Brabant. The bridge is located just past the confluence of the (Grote) Laak and the Dijle.

Confluence of the Demer and the Dijle

Highlight • River

Officially, the Demer flows into the Dijle, but at the confluence of the two, in Werchter, the Dijle is a smaller stream than the Demer. A possible explanation for why the river continues to be called Dijle is that the Dijle flows through the historically more important city of Leuven than the Demer with Aarschot and Diest.

Anti-Tank Canal

Highlight • Historical Site

The anti-tank canal in Haacht is part of the so-called KW-line, a defense line between Koningshooikt (province of Antwerp, near Lier) and Wavre (hence KW) with an extra piece towards Namur. Anyone who has walked in the Dijle region has undoubtedly come across elements of the KW-line.

The anti-tank canal of Haacht dates from 1939. It has been transformed into a combination of heritage site, nature reserve and recreational elements.

It is actually a concrete wall with a canal in front of it. The wall is more than 3 kilometers long and about three meters high. Of course, there are other constructions such as a lock bunker.

You can learn all about it during a beautiful walk - with many information boards - but you can also learn a lot online before or after a visit to the "Haachts Broek - Antitankgracht" nature reserve at haacht.be/antitankgracht

You can discover the bunkers and other parts of the KW-line, including those of Haacht, at regionalelandschappen.be/kw-linie

Dijle Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Dyle Bridge between Keerbergen and Haacht was named Wittegoud Bridge, referring to the asparagus and chicory that are grown here.

Bench with a view of the water

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice to pause here and capture a beautiful memory of the Dijle and the lower meadows. Hof Ter Dijle is a stone's throw away.

Old Hans Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Old Dijle bridge, called the Hansbrug, still accessible by bike or on foot, where the road from Haacht to Keerbergen used to cross... The newer one is only 100m further...
