Looking for a relaxing hour on the water? This short route on the Kempen Canal is perfect for beginners, families or those who just want to go sailing in a green environment.
You'll start at the cozy Herentals Marina, where the water is wide and calm. While paddling on the Kempen Canal, you are surrounded by the typical Kempen landscape: lots of greenery and, above all, a lot of silence. The route is easy and round-trip, so you can fully enjoy the view without worrying about the direction.
Thanks to the flat water and the clear environment, this is an ideal trip for a first introduction to SUP or kayak. And although the route is only 3 km long, it gives you just enough time to clear your head completely. Afterwards, you can enjoy a snack and a drink at Bar Goose.
Go paddling in the early morning, then the canal is at its calmest and the view is often at its best.
