Description

The Canal to Beverlo is a branch of the Bocholt-Herentals Canal near the hamlet "Blauwe Kei" in Lommel. It is one of the seven Kempen canals between the Meuse and the Schelde.De construction started in 1854 and was completed three years later. The canal was dug mainly for military reasons. Shortly after the independence of Belgium in 1830, the garrison town of Leopoldsburg was established in Beverlo, which needed good access roads for the supply and transport of heavy military equipment. Afterwards, the canal also became important for the metal industry that settled in Lommel.
