Zandbergen Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Denderbrug in Zandbergen is a wondrous mechanism that would rather belong in a lesson about industrial archaeology. However, the bridge still works wonderfully and actually forms a tourist attraction for the village.
The bridge in Zandbergen has Aalst roots. In 2004, the iron Zeebergbrug was dismantled in Aalst and moved to Zandbergen, where it replaced the then rather rickety bridge over the Dender.

Shelter on the Weerstandskaai

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The shelter is located on the Weerstandskaai, the towpath along the Dender in Denderwindeke, a sub-municipality of Ninove. The towpath is named after the resistance that the residents offered against the German occupier during the Second World War. The Weerstandskaai runs from the Pollare Bridge to the Denderstraat and has a length of approximately 1.2 kilometers. The street also offers a beautiful view of the Dender and the surrounding nature.

Pollare Iron Pedestrian Bridge over the Dender

Highlight • Bridge

The Pollare Bridge is an iron pedestrian bridge over the Dender in Pollare, a sub-municipality of Ninove. The bridge was built in 1913 and has been a protected village sight since 1980. The bridge connects the two banks of the Dender and is located near the Pollare lock, which still works with bulkhead beams. The bridge has a rich history and used to be a popular destination for fishermen and tourists. The bridge was also blown up in World War II and later restored. The bridge is a fine example of industrial archeology and a unique heritage in the Dender region.

The Pollare lock on the Dender

Highlight • Structure

Lock Pollare is a lock on the Dender in Belgium, near Ninove. The lock is in use and is located at kilometer marker 35.20. The lock still works with bulkhead beams, an outdated system in which wooden beams are lifted in and out of the current with a tackle. De Vlaamse Waterweg nv has plans to renovate the weir and build a fish passage in 2023.

Dender Riverside Cycle Path in Pamel

Highlight • Cycleway

Here you are on the Brabant bank of the Dender in Pamel, a sub-municipality of Roosdaal. Cycling along the Dender is wonderful, but this sometimes busy road is actually too narrow to fully enjoy.

Ship Haulers Bridge, Denderleeuw

Highlight • Bridge

The Schiptrekkersbrug is a bridge over the Dender between Denderleeuw and Liedekerke, which is part of the Schiptrekkers cycle route. The bridge is named after the people who used to pull ships across the river using ropes and horses. It was a hard and poor profession, which was also practiced by women and children. The Schiptrekkers Bridge is a tribute to these people, who played an important role in the history of the region. There is a heritage sign on the bridge that tells their story.
