Tips

🇧🇪 Herwig Aertbeliën

Hiking

In April 1917, the Canadians attack the German army, which was standing by on the Vimy ridge, and win the battle. But this victory came at a high price: more than 10,000 killed and wounded on the Canadian side. As a tribute to all these soldiers, a huge memorial has been erected, consisting of about twenty statues, and 2 immense white towers with a height of 27 meters, which took 11 years to build. The "maple leaf" is applied to one, and a fleur de lis to the other, as a symbol of solidarity between Canada and France.

Hiking

Many of the places and monuments that you come across along the way are evidence of the horrors of war and tyranny, which is still relevant and relevant today. They all have two essential functions, and this for each new generation:
-1- Commemorate and remember the victims
-2- Remind to keep the peace
