From the Mercator square you walk in the direction of the Graventoren and then a short while over the Ring dike. Through alder forests you arrive at the Rupelmond Creek. Along the way you come across the Karper House and at the Coninckshofke you get a nice view of the creek. Then it continues over the Ring dike to enter the forest again a little bit later. At an old Lime tree you will arrive at the Lange Gaanweg which leads to the ferry Basel-Hemiksem. Turn off before the ferry and walk along the marsh on an unpaved road to the Scheldt dike. A beautiful meadow area opens to the right and the Scheldt flows on your left hand side, which you get to see very little. You follow the dike and just before Rupelmonde you catch a glimpse of the estuary of the Rupel in the Scheldt. The dike changes into a paved path and you come back to Rupelmonde. Here you deviate from the official route and arrive at the Scheldekaai and the Tide mill. From the mill it goes back to the starting point.
