Mountain biking
Unpaved path between the fields at the Poperingevaart, along the Robaartbeek.
Resting place with benches and a picnic table.
The Poperingevaart is a canal that connects Poperinge with the river IJzer, dug in 1166 by order of Count Philip of Alsace. In the 14th century, the Poperingevaart underwent several interventions to make it navigable. The stream was widened, a lock complex was built, reservoirs were constructed and three ponds had to ensure sufficient food for the stream. The Poperingevaart became navigable from 1366 from the city centre of Poperinge to the mouth in the IJzer.
