Friday, March 3, 2023 by Werner LaeversThis walk is not bad but certainly not restful. From node 82 to 35 you walk along the towpath along the river Scheldt where cyclists whiz past you as if they had to win a time trial in the Tour de France. Every 30 seconds a wannabe Tom Boonen crosspoints you. After that, the walk becomes a little ok.

Sunday, February 28, 2021 by M.O.Nice walk with good signage. Too bad much of it goes through built-up areas. But all in all a must on a quiet day; otherwise a lot of bicycle traffic on the towpath.

Thursday, November 12, 2020 by H.H.Pleasant walk through fields, on the towpath, through wooded areas and quiet streets. On the towpath it was quite crowded because of the cyclists, but the other parts were very quiet. Well signposted, except for point 36 at the cemetery.
