Vilvoorde Bicycle Bridge and Lift

Highlight • Bridge

At this bridge, you cannot ride up. Rather you ride straight in the lift and go up that way.

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.

Brussels–Scheldt Maritime Canal

Highlight • River

Long, straight and almost geometric ribbon of water connecting Brussels to the Scheldt. The canal cuts through the landscape like a straight line of concrete, steel and water, flanked by locks, bridges and towers that give the whole an industrial monumentality. The open space along the canal — wide sky, long sightlines, wind that has free rein — makes it one of the most recognizable structures in the northern outskirts of Brussels.

The new cycle highway F23, the Kanaalroute Noord

Highlight • Cycleway

The new cycle highway F23, the Kanaalroute Noord, offers a fast and safe connection along the canal between Vilvoorde and the surrounding areas. With its wide, flat paths and clear markings, this route is ideal for both commuters and recreational cyclists who want to enjoy a smooth ride. The route runs along the water, with regular views of green banks and passing ships, thus ensuring a pleasant and efficient cycling experience in an urban environment.

F23 Bike Path Along the Brussels–Scheldt Canal

Highlight • Cycleway

The F23 follows the Brussels–Scheldt Canal as a long, straight line connecting water, space, and city. The path lies tight along the bank, giving your ride a clear rhythm: flat asphalt, open sightlines, and a constant horizon where ships glide slowly by. The Vilvoorde canal zone provides the backdrop—a mix of new quays, industrial relics, and green accents that make the route both urban and tranquil.

Pathway to Vilvoorde

Highlight • Cycleway

The C1 is one of the main northern cycle highways towards Brussels. It provides a fast, largely flat, and safe connection from Antwerp to Brussels via Mechelen and Vilvoorde. In and around Brussels, the route primarily follows railway lines and the Zenne Valley, creating a remarkably car-free and linear corridor. Here, the C1 follows the canal.
