Icon description route Description

Scheldeland was pre-eminently a region that played a leading role in the Great War. The rivers in the region were the backdrop for numerous battles. But also the defense lines that were built here are silent witnesses of a rich and impressive war past.

With main roles for the forts of Liezele and Bornem and the entrenchment of Puurs. The route also takes you past the picturesque villages of Sint-Amands, Mariekerke and Lippelo, unique historical heritage, beautiful views of the Scheldt and lots of greenery.

Tuesday, August 4, 2026 by F.J.To be perfectly honest, we wanted to ride this route, but we didn’t because the junction numbers aren’t on the map—so we’re not doing it. Too bad! Because with the junction numbers, we could have done the route starting from a different point or shortened the route. Now that’s an impossible task. Too bad!

Saturday, October 8, 2022 by A.G.Very nice route, especially the first part. The last 15 km mostly along busy connecting roads, which was unfortunate. Still worth the effort.
