The Stavelebrug is located in Stavele and is located next to the café-restaurant 't Hof van Commerce. The café-restaurant is beautifully situated with a view of the Yser.

@ Herwig Aertbeliën: the stone historic bridge is not here, but as stated in your text "outside the road route".

Stavelebrug: from French riders to a lively war camp 🐎
Today, the Stavelebrug is a quiet passage for hikers and cyclists along the Yser. During the First World War, it looked very different here. A historical photo on the information board shows French soldiers on horseback wading through the Yser at this strategic crossing point.
Stavele grew into a large army camp during the war, where thousands of soldiers stayed, rested, or were on their way to the front. The bridges over the Yser were also of great importance for the supply of troops, food, and ammunition.
