Description
This route allows you to enjoy the beautiful natural beauty along the Scheldt and the Dender. You will also pass through picturesque towns such as Dendermonde. And you can make a loop towards the Buggenhoutbos, a beautiful ancient deciduous forest.
Vlassenbroek Polder
Along the Scheldt are some surprisingly quiet swampy nature reserves. From the dike you can look out over the Vlassenbroekse polder, for example, a beautiful reserve that lies in a meander of the Scheldt. The landscape here consists of a mix of creeks and ditches, meadows and freshwater marshes. On the edge of this polder you drive through the picturesque Vlassenbroek, a village that symbolizes peace and conviviality. You can see here, among other things, the beautiful medieval Sint-Gertrudiskerk.
Dendermonde
Dendermonde is undoubtedly the jewel on your route. Allow plenty of time to take a good look at the historical sights in the old city center. In addition to medieval buildings and stately mansions, you will also see the fourteenth-century town hall with Belfry around the car-free (!) Market. Another eye-catcher is the Butcher's Hall from 1461. The Gothic Church of Our Lady dates back to the thirteenth century.
