You can probably imagine that this great river used to be of great importance. Numerous castles and fortresses were therefore built along the banks of the Scheldt. These served to defend the prosperous region, including Flanders. Although many castles and fortresses have been lost over the years, the Scheldt is still home to some magnificent castles. A particularly fun way to discover them is by cycling the Scheldt Route, from Ghent to Antwerp or vice versa.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fee319f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"65815\" data-id=\"fee319f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-625c8e3\" data-eae-slider=\"55171\" data-id=\"625c8e3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-420b4a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"420b4a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fietsroute-De-Schelderoute-1024x546.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-50881\" alt=\"Cycling Route The Scheldt Route\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fietsroute-De-Schelderoute-1024x546.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fietsroute-De-Schelderoute-600x320.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fietsroute-De-Schelderoute-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fietsroute-De-Schelderoute-768x410.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fietsroute-De-Schelderoute.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Photo: Scheldt Valley River Park<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-18fe190 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"23801\" data-id=\"18fe190\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-426b110\" data-eae-slider=\"95805\" data-id=\"426b110\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e56324 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7e56324\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Castle Gravensteen in Ghent<\/h2><p>The starting point of my cycling trip along the castles of the Scheldt is the crazy city of Ghent.
