Very smooth gravel path. No particular difficulty.

Of course, these are not the belfry and town hall of Tourcoing, as the name of the highlight initially indicated, but those of Menen. The belfry, incorporated into the town hall, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the Grote Markt. The historical function of this city tower was to warn of dangers such as fire with bells and to safely store important city documents. The foundation stone was laid in 1574 during the Wars of Religion. The building only acquired its current form in 1828. In the centuries before, the belfry was damaged several times. For example, during the siege of Menen in 1706, the spire was blown off. As a witness to a turbulent past, the 33-meter belfry still towers above the surrounding area today. It offers a magnificent view of Menen's city center and the border region. Beneath the belfry lies a bomb shelter from the Second World War. Source: information board on site

Hill 60 is an authentic area from the First World War. The artificial hill, built in 1850, stood at a height of approximately 60 meters, hence the name Hill 60. Between 1914 and 1918, fierce fighting took place here between the Germans and the Allies. Starting in 1915, both sides dug tunnels under the hill in which mines were detonated. The explosion of the deep mines on June 7, 1917, created the current landscape of Hill 60. Many soldiers are still buried beneath this hill.

Better tarmac on this side of the Lys than on the other side.

Bad tarmac for inline skaters or longboarders. It is so much better along the Lys.
