Walk · 30 min · free · wooden walkway over the water in the very centre

The Dijlepad is a wooden walkway that floats on the Dijle between the Haverwerf and the botanical garden, right up against the facades that look onto the river. It is the prettiest walk in the centre and costs nothing.
Where to enter
There are access points at the Haverwerf, next to the Fontein bridge, at the Raghenoplein and at Nekkerspoel-Borcht. It can be walked in a wheelchair with help, but the ramps are steep and slippery when it rains.
