The Scheldt, Rupel, and Nete form the natural lifelines of ‘the Rupel region’.
Once, these rivers were a source of inspiration for painters and poets. Now, the river is an important element for relaxation and active nature experiences.

In Noeveren, you can relive the rich (visual) brick history of the region. The remnants of the old brick factories and the authentic workers' houses take you back to the time when they thrived.
The old water tower in Rumst, converted into a tourist information point and viewing tower, gives you a 360° view of the current excavation works in the clay pits and the Rupel banks.

Storm up Bosstraat, with a slope of 6% over 700 meters, ‘a challenge’ for any cyclist. Feel the adrenaline rush as a racer or practice BMX tricks on the track and course of the Provincial Cycling Center in Wilrijk. If you choose 'live', there is space along the course of the annual Memorial Rik Van Steenbergen in Aartselaar or the cyclocross in Niel.

Parking and relaxation can be found in the Provincial Recreation Domain De Schorre. This old clay pit is now a recreation and events center that guarantees a peaceful or active enjoyment.
