Bicycle bridge over the Scheldt at the Red Hill - Wetteren

The bicycle and pedestrian bridge in Wetteren is a modern architectural masterpiece that has connected the city center with the nature reserves on the other side of the Scheldt since 2018 .

The most striking feature is its sleek, elegant design. The gentle curve and the way the bridge rests on the banks make it seem almost to float above the Scheldt. While crossing, you'll have a magnificent panorama of the Scheldt bend. It's the ideal spot to photograph the imposing St. Gertrude's Church from across the river.

The bridge is not just a local convenience; it's a vital link in the F4 cycle highway (Ghent-Antwerp). Thanks to this bridge, cyclists can avoid busy regional roads and safely cross the Scheldt, giving Wetteren a key position in the Flemish cycling network.
