Very well presented and very well edited videos. Superb...so subscribed. I'm looking forward to learning about the places you discover next!

Brussels is such an interesting city, thanks for making such a great video about one of its many fascinating stories. On a side note: there are currently plans to resurface the Zenne in the Maximiliaanpark

You can also visit the Zenne in the north, when you cycle to Vilvoorde. It is a beautiful ride!

If I ever get to go to Brussels I really hope I can go to the sewer museum. It looks amazing!

this rocked

Interesting!

There is also a part of the Zenne in the city which is not covered up. It is near Sint-Gorikshallen.

Very cool, you've managed to make interesting and informative videos that haven't already been done by a multitude of RU-vidrs. Brava! +1 subscriber

There are a few spots where the river surfaces and you can see parts of it in the Brussels Region, one is in rue Bollinckxstraat in Anderlecht, a relatively quiet street in the midst of an industrial zoning. Also in Anderlecht along the Boulevard Paepsemlaan in Anderlecht, still industrial zoning, along bus lines 49 and 74, where a walk path has been built along the river banks. The Zenne then continues along the Anderlecht-Forest border between two main railway lines into Brussels-South station, which will be openend to the public in the future, but for now is virtually inaccessible. And finally in the north it surfaces between Rue du Rupelstraat (behind Schaerbeek station) and at the backside of the colourful incinerator-cum-energy-plant (Google Maps gives the street name as 'Leeuwoprit), which are unfortunately the only places you can see it from. An honourable mention should go to the Parc de la Senne/Zennepark near Brussels-North station, nothing to see of the river itself, but it follows its flow between Bd Roi Albert II/Koning Albert II-laan all the way to the Rue des Palais/Paleizenstraat. Its quite neat, a haven of peace and quiet in a busy city. Before and after Brussels, there are purification station on the Senne/Zenne, so it doesn't stink as much anymore, and you can follow most of it almost right until the end, just before Mechelen.

Thanks for the video. Where can I find some of the maps and images you show in the video?

Very nice! Already looking forward for more videos :)

Congratulations on your TTT win. I'm commenting on here, your first vid as this was really well done and interesting. I loved those old photos. I didn't know about this... and I wasn't expecting a museum at the end of the piece. Cheers!

Tim sent me and I love the vibe of your vids. The mic is a touch loud on the highs (I have pretty sensitive ears), otherwise very nicely put together.

Hello ‘arewethereyet’! Your thoughtful, cinematic, and compelling videos are a pleasure to watch. I hope you are able to continue your craft for us to enjoy. I’m cheering for your success.

Very nice video. I'm interested to see where this channel goes so I'm subscribing. So far I'm getting a The Tim Traveller but serious vibe.

hey!! thank you for the video. Well done! Subed! Please post more.

Narration is too good.. Please stay connected thank you. Subscribed

Cool video!

The house I grew up was on the banks of the Zenne (a little too close, which is why we moved), just outside of Brussels. You could predict the weather just by the smell of it. It's hard to explain, but it was rather accurate. We knew if it was going to rain or be dry the next day.

Very well done

0:43 Controversial opinion here, but the berlaymont and other buildings around le rond-point are pretty neat looking.

My name is the river in French :P

I won't be a sissy! I WILL eat STOEMP!
