Icon description route Description

The route started from the dark Vrijbos, now still 352 ha in size, once in the Middle Ages approximately 6500 ha, stretching from Ypres to Wijnendale and from Roeselare to Diksmuide and continued to Merkem.

On the way to Merkem, the West Flemish hills could be seen.

I followed a section of the Ypres-Yser canal until it finally flowed into the Yser. While following the Ypres-Yser canal, I could see the Yser Tower in the distance. After the confluence into the Yser, I deviated and ended up in the De Blankaart nature reserve.

At junction 21, there was a lookout tower. A bit further, there is also a signpost to a ferry that you can take to cross the Yser. During my journey through De Blankaart, I couldn't spot a sea eagle, but I did see a great egret. It would also be a long wait for the return of the otter.

The trek through De Blankaart and its surroundings was an enjoyment of beautiful views.
