Cycling through the river basin of the Groot Schijn

Fort 3 is located right on the Koude Beek which flows into, yes, the Groot Schijn in the Park Groot Schijn. We depart at the Kruitkamer for a bike ride of approx. 40 km towards Schilde, to where the Groot Schijn runs in a siphon under the Anti-Tank Canal. From one military infrastructure to another. This is a tough piece of cycling, which is why we use a minimum recommended age of 12 years (experienced cyclist). Leden van Natuurpunt are insured during this activity. Along the way, we provide the necessary stops, but bring your own drinks, especially if it is warm weather, and repair kits for any flat tires. A high-visibility vest is also strongly recommended. We ride in a group, hence the limitation to 15 participants. Make sure your bike is in order (bicycle bell!). Along the way, we pass, among other things, De Pont, where another Natuurpunt core of the Schijnbeemden department is active (https://www.natuurpunt.be/natuurgebieden/schijnvallei-de-pont).
