On Saturday, January 3, 1976, a northwest storm rages across Belgium. It is spring tide. In Ruisbroek on the Rupel, the dike over the Vliet, a tidal tributary of the Rupel, breaks. Almost the entire village is flooded. Many inhabitants are taken by surprise and lose almost all their possessions. Over 2,000 people had to be evacuated. As a result of the flooding in Ruisbroek, the government developed the Sigma Plan to strengthen the Flemish river banks.
During this 8 kilometer hike you will cross Ruisbroek and discover the impact of the flood on this village and its inhabitants.
Sights: Old presbytery, monument De Redder, Sint-Katharinakerk, Hellegatwiel, Pump Station, commemoration point dike breach, Sint-Catharinakapel, Hof ter Zielbeek, Waterhoek, former town hall of Ruisbroek.
