ディッケブス池周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ4

On July 23, 1310, the City of Ypres received permission from the Count of Flanders to dig the pond, which, next to the Zillebeke Pond, was intended to ensure sufficient water in the city for fulling and dyeing cloth. The pond was created by damming the Kemmelbeek stream and was excavated on land belonging to the parishes of Vlamertinge, Dikkebus, and Voormezele. The expropriation of the necessary land was arranged by the City of Ypres and took about ten years. The thirty-six-hectare pond was not completed until around 1323.[1] The pond provided and still provides Ypres with drinking water, initially via the Ypres canals and later through a system of oak pipes. Since 1926, this has been done via a modern pumping station. The Zillebeke Pond and Bellewaarde Pond were also created in this way. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dikkebusvijver

Beautiful piece of offroad along the water

Dikkebusvijver is a beautiful pond located between Ypres and Heuvelland, in the southwest of West Flanders. Nearby are the Kemmelberg, the Rodeberg and the Scherpenberg. And just about the schreve France with the Zwarteberg and the Catsberg. Typical for the region are the wide panoramas, the many war memories (military cemeteries, bunkers and bomb craters) and the rural villages where everyone still knows everyone. The 36-hectare pond is a water sports paradise, the wells around it a true adventure and cross country festival. Dikkebusvijver is only 4 km from the center of Ypres and 5 km from the Kemmelberg. It is the starting point of many hiking and cycling routes. Here is our outdoor center with changing rooms and showers and many covered areas, so that we can also be active indoors in less weather and in winter.

Old pond that supplies fresh water to the city of Ypres. Some explanation: The Dikkebusvijver is a pond near the village of Dikkebus, south of the city of Ypres. On July 23, 1310, the City of Ypres received permission from the Count of Flanders to dig the pond next to the Zillebeke Pond to ensure that there was sufficient water in the city for fulling and dyeing sheets. The pond was created by damming the Kemmelbeek and was excavated on the grounds of the parishes of Vlamertinge, Dikkebus and Voormezele. The expropriation of the necessary land was arranged by the city of Ypres and took about ten years. The thirty-six hectare pond was not completed until around 1323. The pond provided and supplies Ypres with drinking water, previously via the Ypres canals and later via a system of oak pipes. Since 1926, this has been done via a modern pumping station. The Zillebekevijver and Bellewaardevijver were also created in this way. In addition to providing drinking water, the pond also has a recreational function. Enjoy the shady banks at a moderate speed.
