Day trip from Temse and Schelle to the heart of Mechelen
We sail from the Scheldt through the Dijle region and enjoy the changing scenery of the rivers Rupel, Nete and Dijle. We navigate to the historic center of Mechelen (Winketkaai). You can enjoy a guided visit of the historical center Mechelen along the most beautiful monuments and spots or you can opt for a free stay. After the visit, the ship takes the participants back to Schelle and Temse.
Boating & cycling
Do you love our waterways and nature, a relaxing bike ride and a fresh breeze aboard a ship? Then a boat trip through the Green Belt, the Zenne Valley or the National Park Scheldt Valley is definitely something for you. Out by boat and back by bike or vice versa: most boat trips can be perfectly combined with a relaxing bike ride. You can explore the region along one of the many signposted cycling routes. Cycling is done on your own initiative and with your own bike.
