On April 18, 1915, aviation pioneer and war hero Roland Garros had to make an emergency landing at Hoog Wallegem in Hulste. There, German forces took him prisoner of war and also confiscated his plane, which he had tried to set on fire after landing. A guide takes you on the trail of Roland Garros and tells you stories about local WWI events.
