Stranger in the landscape.
The Ronquières Inclined Plane on the Brussels-Charleroi Canal has a length of 1,432 m and lifts boats through 67.73 m vertically. It consists of two large caissons mounted on rails. Each caisson measures 91 m long by 12 m wide and has a water depth between 3 and 3.70 m. It can carry one boat of 1,350 tonnes or many smaller boats within the same limits. It opened in April 1968 and replaced 14 locks.
The approach across country yielded this strange vista with the approach aqueduct to the left, the viewing tower centre, and the inclined plane dipping away to the right.
