Canal de Charleroi


Demo description
Walk the line: 1 2

The first part of my walk around Molenbeek starts at the Porte de Flandre. Following the Canal de Charleroi (nr.1 on the map) southwards the first obstruction I encounter is the canal itself. In front of the Belevue brewery the borderline crosses the water. Here we have two options:
– Descend to the water using the stairs down to the waterlevel and cross the channel via the sluice at Place du Trangle, stay down and return on the other side; climb up using the ladder nearest to the line.
– The easier way across is using the bridge at the Ninoofse Steenweg and pick up the trail at the Quai de l’Industrie.
