Description
After World War II, Vloethemveld was converted into a prisoner-of-war camp where approximately 100,000 prisoners stayed.
Today, Vloethemveld is top-notch nature; the military domain is accessible only with a guide.
Several observation towers provide a beautiful view of the area. There is a play zone for our little ones.
Tip: be sure to bring your picnic. At junction 4, fifty meters to the right, you will find a beautiful bird-watching hut.

Saturday, July 27, 2024 by Peter De PourcqVery beautiful walking route in woodland and heathland. What is definitely a plus is the observation tower that gives a view of the nature being restored where the former POW camp was. We were also lucky to spot deer as well as birds of prey. Highly recommended for nature lovers.
