Encyclopedic overview

The Senne (French, pronounced [sɛn] ) or Zenne (Dutch, pronounced [ˈzɛnə]) is a small river that flows through Brussels, Belgium. It is an indirect tributary of the Scheldt, through the Dyle and the Rupel. Its source is in the village of Naast near the municipality of Soignies. After a total length of 103 km (64 mi), it joins the Dyle at Zennegat in Battel, north of the municipality of Mechelen, only a few hundred metres before the Dyle itself joins the Rupel. The Woluwe and the Maelbeek are some of the tributaries of the Senne.
