The Strolijn in Passendale is a former railway line, known as Spoorlijn 64, which ran between Ypres and Roeselare. This line was used during the First World War for the transport of troops and equipment. After the war, the railway line was transformed into a recreational walking and cycling route, now known as the Stroroute.
