VISITFLANDERS

February 22, 2022

In Roesbrugge you have the choice between life and death - related to the river. Because the city center is located along the river IJser (i.e. the "living" river). The backwater of this river, the Flemish name "Tote IJzer", forms the northern border of the city center.

Roesbrugge is known as the "charming village of the Westhoek". In earlier times it was a prosperous city. A village with a rich trading history that has preserved its heritage: the three-nave Sint Martinus church, the old town hall and the many town houses still characterize the townscape today.

Not far from the church is the Werbrouck brewery. Be sure to try the caramel Dubel Bruin with a decent 8 percent alcohol.

Here on the left bank there is a picnic area with an information hut:
The river IJzer flows through the village centre of Roesbrugge. From its source in Lederzeele and Buysscheure in France, the river flows into Belgium in Roesbrugge after having covered 37 km on French soil, to flow into the North Sea 41 km further on in Nieuwpoort. It is the only river in Belgium that flows into Belgian territory. Today you can take relaxing walks along the towpath through the green landscape. You can do this with the junction map 'De IJzervallei' or with the 'Dode IJzerwandelroute'. The picnic area offers a quiet spot to enjoy the landscape with a snack or a drink. If the Belgian weather lets you down, you can take shelter in the information hut.
