Tour of Antwerp: special discoveries in greenery

Your cycling route starts at Leonardo Hotel Antwerp. There is a lot of nature to discover here, such as the Burchtse Weel. This area is influenced by the tides, the many crabs and lobsters attract all kinds of birds. You continue cycling along the bustling right bank of the Scheldt. You will also pass through the largest city park in Antwerp: Rivierenhof. The name refers to the river De Grote Schijn that meanders through the park. The domain was built as a country retreat in the sixteenth century. Further on you cycle past two former forts of the Defense Line of Antwerp: a double ring of forts that were built between 1859 and 1914. In Mortsel you pass Fort 4, in Wommelgem you pass Fort 2. Both forts are open to a limited extent.
