ポペリンゲのおすすめランニングルート

Nice Statue of Eliane Cossey (Poperinge, 9 December 1902 – London, 1942), known by the nickname Ginger, was a striking red-haired precocious child in the Belgian town of Poperinge during the First World War. The café "A la Poupée", an unpronounceable name for English speakers, on the main square grew under the name "Ginger's" into one of the most famous taverns behind "The Ypres Salient". The appeal of the young diva can be read in various diary excerpts and in the Visitors Book with compliments and drawings.

In the town hall courtyard, an execution post commemorates the atrocities that took place here during World War I. At least eight soldiers faced the firing squad here. From 1916 onwards, the adjacent police cells were converted into "death cells," where the condemned soldiers spent their last night. At dawn, these soldiers were executed here (shot at dawn). To enhance the experience even further, text panels and a soundtrack explain the "shot at dawn" phenomenon. You can also visit the site with a guide. More information via toerisme@poperinge.be.

An accessible site consisting of cells and an execution post in the courtyard of Poperinge Town Hall, with various memorials and information boards. The town hall is located at Grote Markt 1-4, with a side wall overlooking Guido Gezellestraat. At least eight men were executed in the courtyard of Poperinge Town Hall: Botfield, Simmonds, Poole, Fryer, Stadman, Wall, Morris, and Gore. Perhaps Crampton and Wang Jungzhi should be added. It is also possible that several others buried in Poperinge New Military Cemetery, and perhaps also McFarlane, buried in Nine Elms Cemetery, appeared before the firing squad here. Several soldiers were also arrested here and held in police cells until they were returned to their units to appear before a court-martial: Byers, Eveleigh, Nelson, Roberts, J. Smith, Hyde, Welsh, and Hughes. Thousands of others of various nationalities stayed here briefly because they were on the streets without permission, drunk, or involved in fights.

During World War I, Poperinge was part of a small, unoccupied part of Belgium. The town grew into the nerve center of the British sector, away from the turmoil of the front lines. In the heart of this bustling town, chaplains Neville Talbot and Philip "Tubby" Clayton opened a clubhouse in December 1915. Soldiers and nurses of all ranks left the violence of war behind to enjoy a rare moment of peace and relaxation. Even today, Talbot House offers a warm and authentic welcome. The permanent exhibition relives Talbot House's history. And in the concert hall, the Happy Hoppers put on a real show. Out and about with children? Discover the various quests. Finally, you can relax in the garden, perhaps with a delicious Westhoek picnic! Looking for a more extensive Talbot House experience? Spend a night in the guesthouse and enjoy your English breakfast in the morning!

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.

From this spot you have no view of the "Swan Lake" unless you are 2 m tall. If you want to see the lake, you have to go to the parallel path, on the other bank of the Heidebeek.
