ポペリンゲ周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

詩人のエミール・フェルハーレンが1916年11月にフランスのルーアンで亡くなった後、当初はアドゥインケルケ（デ・パンヌ）の軍事墓地に埋葬されました。ドイツ軍の進撃のため、1917年末に遺体はヴルフェリンゲム（アルフェリンゲム）の墓地の2番目の仮の安息所に秘密裏に移されました。1927年になってようやく、彼はスインクト＝アマンズのシェルド川沿いにある記念碑的な霊廟に最終的に埋葬されました。彼の生涯とさまざまな場所に関する詳細は、エミール・フェルハーレン博物館の伝記ページをご覧ください。

墓地には第二次世界大戦で亡くなったイギリス兵15名（うち3名は身元不明）が埋葬されています。彼らは進撃するドイツ軍と戦ったイギリス派遣軍の兵士でした。彼らは1940年5月30日から6月1日の間に亡くなりました。彼らの墓はイギリス連邦戦争墓地委員会によって管理されており、そこではWulveringem Churchyardとして登録されています。出典：Wikipedia

道路と並行した、素敵な土の道です。

The castle isn't open to the public except for specific events, so check the calendar. It's located just across from Beauvoorde's beautiful church and cemetery. A little further down the street, you'll also find the old pancake bakery and pancake house. You used to be able to visit both, but now there's a vending machine selling the famous Beauvoorde pancakes.

The town of Poperinge (now Poperinge) was of great importance during the First World War because, although occasionally bombed or bombed from a distance, it was the closest town to Ypres (now Ypres), which was both substantial and reasonably safe. It initially served as a center for wounded units, but by 1916 it became necessary to move these units further back, and their places were taken by field ambulances. The earliest Commonwealth graves in the town are in the municipal cemetery. The Old Military Cemetery was established during the First Battle of Ypres and, as far as Commonwealth graves are concerned, was closed in early May 1915. The New Military Cemetery was established in June 1915. The New Military Cemetery contains 677 Commonwealth burials of the First World War and 271 French war graves. The cemetery was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield. Source: https://www.cwgc.org/visit-us/find-cemeteries-memorials/cemetery-details/14500/poperinghe-new-military-cemetery/

Poperinge town was in British hands for almost the entire war. It was an important location because it was the closest town to Ypres, relatively safe from bombardment, and of considerable size. Initially, it served as a center for Casualty Clearing Stations, but in 1916 these were withdrawn and replaced by Field Ambulances. The first Commonwealth burials were in the town cemetery (Poperinge Communal Cemetery). The Old Military Cemetery was used during the First Battle of Ypres and closed, at least for Commonwealth burials, in early May 1915. The New Military Cemetery opened in June 1915. This cemetery contains 677 Commonwealth graves and 274 graves of other nationalities, including 271 French. The cemetery was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield. Burials (Commonwealth War Graves Commission): United Kingdom: 597 Canada: 55 Australia: 20 New Zealand: 3 Other Commonwealth: 2 Total Commonwealth: 677 Other nationalities: 274

St. John's Church was founded in the 13th century and is primarily known as a place of pilgrimage in honor of Our Lady of St. John. In 1479, through her intercession, a miracle occurred, which led to the annual Marian Procession. The white stone Calvary is a replica of the original wooden statues, which can now be seen in the winter chapel.

Poperinge is known for its hop cultivation, and this is clearly visible in the surrounding countryside. Cycling through the area, you'll come across these hop fields, where the hop plant is cultivated. Curious about the harvest? Then settle down on one of Poperinge's terraces and sample the local beers. Cheers!
