The ‘Castor Boubby’ cycle route from Kallebeek

A very beautiful cycle ride, set in the heart of nature, along the banks of the Scheldt, which you’ll cross twice, using a free bike ferry. 90 per cent of the cycle paths on this route are in a natural setting with virtually no motor traffic – a real immersion in nature. You’ll spot plenty of birds and discover beautiful castles with lovely parks. Halfway along the route, you’ll arrive in Temse, a very pretty little port town. You can grab a bite to eat or a drink and explore the superb church and magnificent belfry.
