20의 에스테벨레스가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Magnificent trail. Bicycles are not prohibited, but the path is very narrow and there are many walkers, sometimes even dogs. You often have to slow down. So avoid it during busy times. I find the surface perfectly acceptable for gravel riding.

Most of the path is very smooth and you can enjoy the few birds and (rarely) the sun reflecting in the water. Unfortunately it is very often spoiled by the discharges from factories or sewers which often bring a foul smell, especially when the water is stirred up by the few barges that pass by.

Some time ago this path was forbidden to bicycles. Has this changed?

The Canal de la Deûle is one of the oldest canals in northern France and connects the river Scarpe at Douai with the river Lys at Deûlémont, near the Belgian border. The canal is approximately 34.8 km long and has 3 locks. Most of the canal is included in the high-quality Dunkerque-Escaut waterway, and the remaining section through the port of Lille is often considered a branch of the main route, hence the alternative names Liaison or Antenne Bauvin-Lys.

These hills, which were named after their height, are known along the entire front. Hill 70 is a Canadian memorial to the troops who fought here at the time. Access via a level driveway, winding like a snail shell up to the stele at the top. The originally well-designed information boards at the foot of the hill are unfortunately currently damaged by vandalism.

This park commemorates the Battle of Hill 70, a strategic victory for the Canadian Army in August 1917. The park features an obelisk that symbolizes the courage and sacrifice of Canadians, as well as walkways, sculptures and interpretive panels which tell the story of the battle. You can also admire the view of the city of Lens, which was occupied by the Germans at the time.

The Drocourt slag heap is like a bike park (without the cable cars ;o). Ideal for improving technique or letting off steam for two hours

Pretty road along the Deûle.
