Beautiful cycle path along the water

Highlight • Cycleway

Straight, quiet waterline with a smooth asphalt path stretching between greenery and canal. The row of trees on the left provides a soft, natural framing for the route, while the water on the right opens up the horizon. In the distance, a cooling tower dominates the landscape as an industrial landmark that gives the whole an unexpected grandeur.

Cooling Towers

Highlight • Monument

Two monumental cooling towers rise from the flat canal landscape, like silent sentinels of the industrial past. Their concrete forms dominate the horizon, but in the morning sun they acquire an almost sculptural softness. The straight canal road leads to them like a line of perspective — a trajectory that combines speed, silence, and symmetry.

Salangaan Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

For cyclists, this is a short but striking moment: you take the lift up, roll over the bridge, and descend again with the lift on the other side – a vertical movement that briefly breaks the rhythm of the ride. The bridge is located just behind the Vilvoorde viaduct, making it appear both small and striking within the grand infrastructure setting. The name refers to the salangan, a swift that returns over Vilvoorde in April, and to Frederik Vanclooster, whose totem name ‘entertaining salangan’ adds a personal layer to the work.
