    Hiking

    This is one of the 20 picnic benches in the Westhoek on which literary texts from WWI are placed. Eyewitnesses from that time share stories about the drawn landscape. In the accompanying podcast, well-known guests such as Rudi Vranckx and Wouter Deprez follow in the footsteps of these historical eyewitnesses.
    Here is the poem "Besiegtes Land" (1916) by Lt. Renker.
