Description
Three waterways - the Albert Canal, the Kempen Canal Schoten-Turnhout-Dessel and the Antitank Canal - create a blue framework around the Voorkempen, so to speak. Bicycle paths on the banks of a river or waterway guarantee a quiet and safe ride. The Waterways Route runs along 17 km of paved car-free towpath and 11 km of semi-paved towpath. The route runs via the nodes.

Thursday, March 25, 2021 by D.H.Very nice route close to Antwerp city. A piece runs along the antitank route, lots of green, lots of water and a nice ice cream cart at the ford of oelegem.

Monday, November 9, 2020 by Tolle ColartDid the route today with my son. We both thought it was a super fun route, definitely worth repeating. Drove the wrong way once, at junction 42. That was because we had started reading what the sign said (Antitankgracht) and then had not seen the sign 42. For the rest a beautiful route along water, through forest / residential areas

Thursday, July 2, 2020 by Femke Van GoethemFirst bike route I have done through this system. Fine experience, nice places seen. Good signage. Only between node 24 & 16 there are road works so I missed node 22, but you still ride along the water there and there was a sign "waterways" so followed that and the water and suddenly 16 appeared.

Monday, June 1, 2020 by Sam BalthazarBeautiful route, mostly in nature. Use this route every 2 days as a cross training route. Indeed quite windy along the Albert Canal.... but that's what we train for lol. Also definitely suitable for family outings, ebikes.... As for road bike : from Fort van Oelegem there are a few less suitable road sections (sharp stones).

Sunday, April 19, 2020 by Alexander BuytaertWhat a fun route. Good variety between paved and unpaved. Beautiful nature. At Albert Canal a lot of headwind. Was a good relaxation. Started from Brasschaat and stopped at 42 KM.

Tuesday, April 14, 2020 by I.S.Pleasantly surprised by a nice route not far from town. Next time we'll do them in the other direction I think because next to the canal (between 16 and 41) it was windy and unsheltered the whole time.

Next to the canals, so open space with refreshing breezes over the water.
Along the major canals excellent bike paths.
Along the antitank canal slightly adventurous bike path, paved earth road but excellent rideability.
Moreover, beautiful surroundings! Wooded interspersed with fields.

Monday, June 4, 2018 by Eddy KempenaersVery nice bike ride, very varied and especially the part along the anti-tank canal is very nice in terms of nature experience. Also the alternation of asphalt and gravel roads makes it a nice route. Definitely recommended.

Tuesday, May 1, 2018 by T.W.Beautiful route
Especially the part along the anti-tank canal
Too bad about the busy roads you have to cross
Be careful there because they drive fast

Wednesday, April 11, 2018 by K.V.At No. 24 start and finish point, you can visit the Yeast Factory every Sunday from 11am to 6pm for a nice coffee, a fresh pint and something small to eat. Lovely terrace with a view of Abert Canal. More info: www.facebook.com/kunstaanhetkanaal
