Must visit

Dyle path

Hiking enthusiasts can take a walk along the water in the middle of the center. Walking on the floating part of the Dylepad is therefore highly recommended.

The path leads you along (and over) the Dyle, between the Haverwerf and the Kruidtuin. It offers you the opportunity to discover Mechelen from a completely different perspective and to see the back of the old houses. The many water birds make it moody and amusing, especially for children.

The route is wheelchair accessible with sufficient assistance. The ramps have a fairly steep gradient and can be slippery in rainy weather.

The Dijlepad is accessible via the Haverwerf, the Dijlepad 2 (next to the Fonteinbrug), the Raghenoplein 21 (between campus De Ham and campus De Vest of the Thomas More Hogeschool), and Nekkerspoel-Borcht.

Ember

Mechelen

Ember is a gastronomic concept by Zino Jacobs and Arthur Doppee where fire, smoke, and pure flavors take center stage. By cooking over a wood fire and using minimal gas and electricity, Ember returns to the essence of cooking. The kitchen works exclusively with local and seasonal products, preparing vegetables, fish, and quality meat in an honest and refined manner. Collaborations with Belgian producers and traders are central to this. Sustainability also plays an important role. Ingredients that would normally go to waste are given a second life at Ember in dishes or drinks. In this way, Ember combines gastronomy, craftsmanship, and innovation into a unique culinary experience.
