Railway line 62 used to be a 22 km long railway between Ostend (Zandvoordestraat) and Torhout (Aartrijksestraat). The goal: to bring Parisians to Ostend quickly. That the seasonal workers could go in the opposite direction to the North of France was a plus. However, the rail connection was closed and the tracks were broken up. Track 62 became the Groene 62, a green, car-free axis for walkers and cyclists. Along the way you enjoy the polders and forests and you come across some nice stops. Finish the tour with a visit to the domain d'Aertrycke and Kasteel Wijnendale. (westtoer.be)
