Tips

Near Nieuwpoort, the Yser flows directly into the sea. Where salt and fresh water meet, a special biotope has developed with mud flats, salt marshes, dunes, beaches and polders. Thanks to an extensive network of cycling and hiking trails, you can enjoy the natural beauty of the Yser estuary. Handy information panels tell you everything about this wonderful nature reserve along the way.

TRAIL TIPS
Going Southwards: An important reminder is that the marked path with our logos in Belgium is marked for hikers, not for cyclists. However, the markers may be followed on a bike but there are places where bikes are not suitable nor allowed. This is however an area very amenable to bikes and there will likely be a visible bike path or cycle lane alongside as the alternative path to re-join the markers. The Western Front Way has tested both the trails and this is possible to do.

Setting off: Once you leave the town, you will start the bike trail along the old railway line. Along this section, there are centenary themes and noticeboards to see. Weaving your way off the railway track, this eventually follows the GR131 in and out along the Ijzer, towards the remarkable chapel with its own heroic story and viewpoint at Oud-Stuivekenskerke or towards the centre of Diksmuide. You will pass the Yser Tower and the Dodengang Museum. Both are worth a visit.

Beautiful views and a very nice change from the dike and the dunes
