Spring is here, and so the ferries are setting sail again! A boat is not only nostalgic; you immediately feel a vacation vibe when you feel the waves, see the vistas, and the many waterfowl: this is nature at its best, just a stone's throw from the city.

This walk is 12 kilometers. You will therefore take more than 10,000 steps. Moreover, you will lose some time with the three ferries. So make it a pleasant day trip!

We start the walk at the Waterbus stop at the Steen. The journey from Steenplein to Hemiksem takes half an hour. If you come by car, you can start at parking Rupeldijk (Tolhuisstraat 325, Schelle).

The - free! - ferries do not always operate. Schelle-Wintam (daily, at the hour and half-hour), Rupelmonde-Wintam (April to June and September: only on weekends, July and August: daily, at the hour and half-hour) and Bazel-Hemiksem (2 departures/hour)
