Albert Canal Towpath at Kanne

Highlight • Cycleway

You arrive at a towpath along the Albert Canal, nice view to the steep rock wall in which a bunker has been made that is part of the fortress Eben-Emael. You imagine yourself somewhere in the south of France, although you are in Belgium but you are only 5 km from Maastricht, very nice bike ride.

Albert Canal

Highlight • River

Super nice cycle path next to the Albert Canal. This canal is 130 kilometres long and connects Liège with Antwerp. Fun fact: It was named after King Albert I and has played an important role in Belgian freight transport since 1939.

Originally built to connect steel factories and coal mines: today this canal is good for around 40 million tonnes of freight per year.

With six locks and space for ships up to 9,000 tonnes, it is an impressive piece of infrastructure!
