The bicycle bridge not only connects the two opposite banks, it also connects the three bicycle networks of the Leie, Picardy-Wallonia and Flemish Ardennes regions. It is also a link in the international cross-border route Eurovélo 5 (from London, via Lille, Brussels, Strasbourg, Milan and Rome to Brindisi). In this way, the bridge provides a direct link between the Leie region and the long-distance route between Lille and Brussels.

Where the bicycle bridge over the Scheldt is today, the Kortrijk-Ronse railway line connected both banks. Therefore it was obvious to name the bridge "IJzerwegbrug".

Avelgem Scheldt Meadows

Highlight • Natural

On the banks of the Scheldt, on the border between West Flanders, East Flanders and Hainaut, you will find the Avelgemse Scheldemeersen: flowery grasslands, reed beds and wooded edges along cut-off Scheldt bends.

The lakes were created when the Scheldt was straightened. The most famous and perhaps also the most beautiful cut-off Scheldt arm is denomination Marcel Deweer, but they all have a very high natural value and a rich fauna and flora. In some lakes you can walk on the trails, others can only be seen from the towpath.

Scheldt River Path at Outrijve

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Scheldt originates in Northern France north of Saint-Quentin, approximately 95 meters above sea level. It is a small spring that only forms a stream in its first kilometers. As it flows, the stream is fed by other side streams and grows into a real river, eventually flowing into the North Sea as a mighty stream.

The Scheldt can be divided into three zones. From its source to the tidal lock of Merelbeke, near Ghent, it is called the Upper Scheldt.

In several places the Upper Scheldt forms the border between Wallonia and Flanders. Over the centuries, weirs and locks were built to improve the navigability of the Upper Scheldt. On the banks of the Upper Scheldt you will discover the typical lakes, industrial areas and many cut-off Scheldt arms. Despite all the adjustments, the Scheldt Valley has still retained much of its original character.
