We combine cycling with the Waterbus to move from the right bank to the left bank and back. Docks, locks, bridges, terminals, container ships, well-hidden pieces of nature, fortresses, impressive harbor cranes, pipelines, polder landscapes, economic importance, coffee, tobacco, steel, cars, surprising landscapes, Scheldt dikes … we encounter it all during this bike tour.

Our guide not only shares his knowledge with you but also a lot of trivia. At noon we have lunch (not included) in a typical port bistro before taking the Waterbus again to discover the right bank.
