In the 19th and early 20th century, blue smugglers were active in the border region between Belgium and France. These smugglers mainly transported food, drink and tobacco across the border, while trying to evade customs officers.

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.

Here the IJzer becomes too narrow and the boats have to go back. The IJzer also becomes unrecognizable.

The Zwijnebeek (French: Zwyne Becque) is a small river in the Yser basin. It flows through the northern French municipality of Rekspoede and forms the border between the French Oostkappel and the Belgian Poperinge for a while before it merges with the Yser at the border in Bambeke. The stream is approximately 7 km long and has a height difference of 12 metres between source and mouth.
