Unpaved path along the Poperingevaart.
The Poperingevaart is a canal that connects Poperinge with the river Yser, dug in 1166 on behalf 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, savings basins were constructed and three ponds had to provide sufficient nutrition for the stream. The Poperingevaart became navigable from 1366 from the city center of Poperinge to the mouth of the IJzer.
