A very well-known place for pilgrims and a good tavern which recently reopened: LA TABLE DE ST BENOIT.

Nice and spicy climb!

Dadizele has been a renowned place of pilgrimage since the 15th century. Pilgrims worship the statue of Our Lady and Child there. Construction of the basilica began in 1857 in response to the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854. Monsignor Malou, Bishop of Bruges, wanted a monumental church for his diocese to honor this dogma. The plans were by the English architect Welby Pugin. The church of Dadizele was elevated to a basilica in 1882 by Pope Leo XIII. Along with the Chapel of the Holy Blood in Bruges and the abbey church of Zevenkerken, the Basilica of Our Lady is the only basilica in the diocese. The beautiful stained-glass windows depict not only the history of the church but also various facts from the life of Mary. In the crypt, we see the tomb, spurs, gloves, and sword of Knight Jan van Dadizele. The basilica is a protected monument and remains very popular, especially during the pilgrimage months of May and September. Source: toerismedadizele.be

Armentieres is a nice place to go and visit at least once. Too bad the path along the Leie are not maintained, they are in so bad state...

Easier side of Kemmelberg, but don't start too hard and leave some energy to the last part, which kicks just before the top.

a beautiful turn

good physical condition
