Description
Departed from Stavele over a lyrical little bridge over the IJzer. The first municipality in France: Hondschoote: beautiful town hall with tourist information about the role of Hondschoote during WWI.
Afterward, the bike ride continued over rolling farmlands, with various church towers and farms in the background. It took about thirty kilometers before I arrived in another village core where it was livelier. Very quickly, I then arrived in Bergues (Sint Winoksbergen), a very beautiful medieval town with medieval ramparts. Sint Winoksbergen is a water town with the oldest manually-dug canal. Also, the canal Basse Colme that connects Bergues with Veurne and Saint Omer. It is very beautiful to walk around, beautiful harbor.
The people were extremely friendly. Around Bergues, I then rode through the forest and a car-free path to the somewhat higher located Socx, the division between the coastal landscape and the inland. This bike ride made me discover some lesser-known regions.
