Lillo Attractions
Eventually, the Havenroute tour follows the Scheldt to the Van Cauwelaertsluis and Boudewijnsluis, continuing past the 17th C. Eenhoorn windmill to Lillo, one of the few polder villages to have at all survived engulfment by the port.
At Lillo there is a choice between driving on to inspect the huge Berendrechtsluis, the world's largest lock, or shortening the tour by turning round and following the Havenroute south again towards Antwerp, via the Frans Tijsmanstunnel beneath the Kanaaldok and then along the Noorderlaan.

Polder Museum
The Polder Museum and the remains of Lillo's 16th C. fort are both well worth visiting, the latter having been part of the great fortifications which once surrounded Antwerp, the former documenting life as it was on the Antwerp polders prior to their being swallowed up by industrial development.
