Geraardsbergen Market

Highlight • Settlement

This square is home to both the St. Bartholomew's Church (19th century), renovated in neo-Gothic style, and the town hall with stepped gables and corner turrets. The statue of Manneken Pis against the town hall is said to be the oldest in Belgium (1455). In the building there is a small museum (in the tourist office) with his costumes. The Gothic fountain (1475) in front of the town hall bears the name Marbol.

Official name: Barrage des deux Acren (Deux-Acren Lock)

The Barrage des deux Acren is a lock complex on the Dender in Deux-Acren. The complex consists of a 2-meter-wide and 1200-meter-long dam and two new locks on the existing dam. The complex was designed to regulate the Dender and maintain shipping during the works. The architecture firm Canevas was involved in the construction of the complex.

Drawbridge over the Dender

Highlight • Bridge

Here again a bank change of the "ravel". From Left Bank to Right Bank. Also the last catering industry along the Ravel! (towards Ath).
All roads lead to Rome, but this towpath certainly does. After all, the EV5 (Canterbury - Roma) runs here.
