Review:
Considered to be one of the finest engineering feats in modern-day Belgium, the Strepy-Thieu Boat Lift must to be seen to be believed. This remarkable boat lift enables inland boaters to navigate a remarkable 73 meter vertical drop to continue their passage along Belgium’s waterways. Your visit to the Strepy-Thieu Interpretation Center will include an introduction to the history of inland navigation in Belgium and an explanatory film on the construction and use of this elevator funicular. In addition, visitors get the chance to admire the massive engine room from the top of the structure and watch the lift in action while you sip coffee in the café.
