You leave at the village in Landegem on De Lork, a cozy brasserie.
The castle park of Poeke is a wooded park of 56 hectares with an absolutely beautiful castle in neoclassical style. The gardens are open daily from sunrise to sunset.
In Estaminet De Flasse you can stop and enjoy a drink or snack.

In Torhout you pass the Wijnendale castle that can be visited. There is a car park at the entrance of the castle park. The historic moated castle Wijnendale Castle to the north of the city center, surrounded by 180 hectares of forest, houses the glorious past from the 11th century to the present day. The museum shows you life in the castle and tells you the stories about Leopold III during the May days 1940, the counts of Flanders and dukes of Burgundy. The castle can be visited both individually and in groups. Admission price for adults is € 5. Opening hours: April to June and September: Wednesday and Sunday 1.30 to 5.30 pm - July and August Wednesday to Sunday 1.30 to 5.30 pm

The tour continues to Diksmuide. On the Grote Markt you can easily park and eat or drink something in the various restaurants. A must is certainly the Eethuis and frituur 't Belfort. Just over the Yser you will pass the Yser Tower. This tower, originally inaugurated on August 24, 1930, stands on the bank of the river Yser, near the city center of Diksmuide on the territory of the Kaaskerke district. On the four sides of the monumental base on the tower is written No more war, in the four languages of the warring factions of the Western Front during the First World War: Plus jamais de guerre, No more War, Nie wieder Krieg.
The Yser Tower is primarily a memorial to the Flemish fallen of the First World War, but at the same time it is also a symbol of the will, which arose along the Yser, for more political independence in Flanders.
The 22 floors of the Yser Tower are designed as a museum about War, Peace and Flemish emancipation. It has been part of the United Nations Peace Museums Network since 1998.
More information about visiting the Yser Tower can be found at the links at the bottom.

In the vicinity of Langemark-Poelkapelle you come to the Welsh memorial park. The red dragon, built on a dolmen ("cromlech" in Welsh), stands at the center of an area captured by a Welsh force on July 31, 1917. He looks towards Passchendaele, the village that would be taken three months later. This would kill half a million people. The surrounding park is dedicated to all the Welsh people, both soldiers and civilians, who were involved in the First World War. The monument is hidden behind a hedge, but there is a small car park.

A little further you will notice the Northumbrian Division Memorial. In all its simplicity, the sturdy monumental obelisk was not only to form a beacon in the flat, Flemish landscape, it also had to refer to the county in Northern England, where the division was recruited.
The Saint-Charles de Potyze cemetery is a French military cemetery with war dead from the First World War, located in the Belgian city of Ypres. Some 4,800 dead are commemorated, of which more than 1,300 could not be identified. The cemetery covers an area of approximately 29,900 m² and is located about three kilometers northeast of the city center, along the road to Zonnebeke (N332), just past the hamlet of Potyze. The entrance to the cemetery is flanked by two white stone columns. To the left, past the entrance, is a group of statues representing a calvary. At the back is a mass grave and an obelisk commemorating a number of infantry regiments. The tombs are marked with upright crosses, with the exception of some Muslim and Jewish tombs which have a stone tombstone with an inscription according to their beliefs.

Hill 60 is a hill just outside the Belgian village of Zillebeke, where fierce battles took place during the First World War. The hill is located near the Ieper-Kortrijk railway (Spoorlijn 69), along Zwarteleenstraat. The hill is approximately 60 meters high and 230 meters long. This hill was actually built from soil that was released during the construction of 'the' railway. The war site of Hill 60 has been preserved and can be visited freely. There is a small parking lot directly at the entrance.

In Vinkt, a district of Deinze, during the Eighteen Days' Campaign in May 1940, a massacre took place on the civilian population by the German army. Within a few days, 140 civilians were killed in Vinkt and Meigem, of which 86 people were executed and 27 civilians died in the church of Meigem as a result of a grenade explosion. The victims came from Vinkt and neighboring municipalities. A memorial monument has been erected at the church, consisting of a wall of honor with a monument, a wrought entrance gate, a monument of crosses and a memorial altar. Since 2013, a reflection room has also been housed in a separate wing of the Sint-Franciscus residential and care center. You can park along the Heerdweg and on the Martelarenplein. You can reach this square by turning right 100 m past the primary school into a narrow street on the traffic plateau.

From there it is about 15 km to the end of this route at the church of Landegem. There you can end the day at café De Gouden Klok or on the other side of the church at Brasserie De Lork where we started the route. In summer you can also enjoy a delicious pastry with coffee or taste the homemade ice cream on the terrace at the Aristo bakery.

This route gets 5 points. There are many commemorative monuments of the First World War between Diksmuide and Ypres. In Vinkt, the monument is a reminder of the massacre that took place in May 1940. The route follows quiet rural roads that are largely also in very good shape.
