Boortmeerbeek

Boortmeerbeek offers stories of courage and resistance, the beautiful nature of Pikhakendonk and the Leuven canal as a guide.

Resistance along the canal

At the train station, the monument Transport XX recalls a heroic action in 1943, when three Brussels resistance fighters intercepted a deportation train to Auschwitz and managed to let 115 people escape. The Boortmeerbeek lock is also a monument and marks the Leuven canal, where you can enjoy walking and biking along the water. Nature lovers head to Pikhakendonk, a green area full of birds and blossoming hedges.

"Here heroic deeds were performed."
