Highlight • Bridge

At this bridge, you cannot ride up. Rather you ride straight in the lift and go up that way.

Salangaan Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Regional Manager of Nature and Forests Veerle Heyens: “With the Salangaan Bridge we are eliminating the missing link of the Basilica Route, a green walking network between the Basilica of Vilvoorde and that of Grimbergen. Via a nine kilometer long trail you walk through the Hanssens Park and the Cargill Park on the right bank, and the Drie Fonteinen domain, the Tangebeekbos, the Prinsenbos and by extension the Lintbos on the left bank."

Humbeek Sas Lift Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The indicated place does not correspond to the location of the Verbande Bridge. This is the Hefbrug Humbeek Sas. It is a lift bridge over the Brussels-Scheldt Sea Canal in Humbeek, a sub-municipality of Grimbergen. The bridge was built in 1968 and has a metal movable part with a length of 38.4 m and a width of 11.6 m. The bridge is identical in dimensions to the Brielenbrug in Tisselt (Willebroek) and the Verbrande Brug in Grimbergen which were built in the same year.

Historic building Hof van Baeckelmans

Highlight • Historical Site

At this location there is a private park garden connected to a historic double house.

Historical interpretation: The building was originally part of an 18th century castle, so-called Hof van Baeckelmans or Lissnyder Castle, located on the canal bank. During the widening works of the canal in 1979, the castle had to be demolished and was subsequently rebuilt on a reduced scale. The flax merchants' warehouses also disappeared during these works.
Ecological green management is applied in the private park garden. nature is thus given every opportunity to develop to strengthen the regional fauna and flora. Here we are creating an ecological site that will further develop in peace and with limited management.
After a thorough renovation, the double house will be given a new residential purpose. The front and back garden of the double house are adjacent to the park area.
In addition to this highlight, you can also visit the Lourdes Grotto.

Peace Bridge Willebroek

Highlight • Bridge

This iron bridge, also called the Bridge of Sighs or Monster of Iron and Steel, is a true Willebroek icon.
The name "Vredesbrug" comes from the fact that the 11th Armoured Division of the British army followed the canal on its way to Antwerp in 1944.
Because this bridge was the only way to cross the canal until the construction of the ring road around Willebroek, the bridge often had to be raised. Several times a day there would be a long line of waiting cars. This event led to the pet name Bridge of Sighs.

Schaerbeek Station

Highlight • Monument

A small passenger station in 1864, the project to erect a new building in the Flemish neo-Renaissance style saw the light of day a few years later with the aim of relieving congestion at the North and Allée Verte stations.

An important hub for freight traffic until the 1980s, the development of road transport heralded the decline of the station, with passengers becoming increasingly rare. Closed for a long time, it found a second wind in 2015 with the inauguration of "Train World", an educational train museum which retraces the railway history of Belgium with, as its centerpiece, a locomotive from 1844, the oldest on the continent.
