Icon description route Description

You can start in Ypres behind the station where you can also park for free.

You first cycle for kilometers along the Comines-Ypres canal on a car-free road, enjoying the fauna and flora. Then you head towards the green of Palingbeek. Then the Gasthuis forests await you to reach Hill 62. Here you have a beautiful view of the towers of Ypres. You constantly breathe in the wartime past of this region.

Before we return to Ypres with its Menin Gate and Cloth Hall, we cycle again traffic-free along the Zillebeke pond. Watch out for the ducks that regularly approach you. We also cross through Ypres itself mostly on less busy paths.
