Location: Ypres, Ieper, West Flanders, Flanders, Belgium
Just a stone's throw from Ypres, in the middle of a picturesque hilly and wooded landscape, you will find the Palingbeek provincial domain, the largest facility of its kind in Flanders.
You can look at testimonies of the past on several hiking and cycling tours (here, too, the First World War left its sad traces) or simply enjoy the vastness and nature. Pools and swamps, old and young forest, clearings and thickets, orchards, flowers and lawns alternate.
The visitor center is housed in a former farm.

In this domain you can cycle and walk quietly or rest on one of the sunbathing areas during hot days.

Interesting landscape, history and nature.
This strange thing is somewhere else though.
