The old tram line in Rollegem was redeveloped into a slow road. It took some time to complete the final section, at the former tram station on Tombroekstraat (Beekweg). From the 18th century until May 25, 1963, the tram station served as a stop on the Kortrijk-Mouscron line. This line not only transported passengers, but often also a wagon loaded with goods or coal. The stop and loading yard were located on Tombroekstraat. From 1902 to 1938, the line was electrified. In 1963, a bus line replaced the tram. In 1990, the Flemish government constructed a cycle path on the embankment of the decommissioned line, connecting Bellegem with Rollegem, including a tunnel under the A17 motorway. However, approximately 300 meters of tram track, between two meadows, remained untouched. Starting in 2004, the city council purchased plots of land along the tram track. The missing section was included in the Cycle Route Plan. This section also includes the former bridge over the Fabrieksbeek stream. The new Chiro building is located on the site of the former tram station. Source: Stadskrant Kortrijk

The crossing to a forest where you can still walk.

In 1920, a new branch of the Leie was excavated in Menen and fitted with locks. In 1990, engineers diverted the course of the Leie again, creating a small island between the old and new riverbeds. It lies on French territory and is now a pleasant park. You can reach it via the bridge over the locks. (See the highlight "Old Leie Branch") The locks' age is evident in their construction materials: not concrete, but individual stones. The 1920 work was intended to make the Leie navigable for boats up to 300 tons – by comparison, the river is now suitable for vessels up to 1,350 tons. The complex has been a protected monument since 2005. Source: toerisme-leiestreek.be

Dadizele has been a renowned place of pilgrimage since the 15th century. Pilgrims worship the statue of Our Lady and Child there. Construction of the basilica began in 1857 in response to the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854. Monsignor Malou, Bishop of Bruges, wanted a monumental church for his diocese to honor this dogma. The plans were by the English architect Welby Pugin. The church of Dadizele was elevated to a basilica in 1882 by Pope Leo XIII. Along with the Chapel of the Holy Blood in Bruges and the abbey church of Zevenkerken, the Basilica of Our Lady is the only basilica in the diocese. The beautiful stained-glass windows depict not only the history of the church but also various facts from the life of Mary. In the crypt, we see the tomb, spurs, gloves, and sword of Knight Jan van Dadizele. The basilica is a protected monument and remains very popular, especially during the pilgrimage months of May and September. Source: toerismedadizele.be

Tyne Cot Cemetery is the largest Commonwealth cemetery in the world, located near Passchendaele. It was established in October 1917 and contains over 11,000 graves of soldiers who died during the First World War. The site was strategically important during the Battle of Passchendaele and was used as an advanced dressing station after its capture by the 3rd Australian Division on 4 October 1917. The cemetery was designed by Sir Herbert Baker and includes an impressive Cross of Sacrifice, built on a former German bunker. The cemetery was significantly expanded after the Armistice to include graves from nearby battlefields and smaller cemeteries.

A particularly poignant anecdote about the Brothers In Arms Memorial involves Australian brothers John and James Hunter. During the Battle of Polygon Wood on 26 September 1917, John was killed in the arms of his brother James. John was buried in a temporary cemetery, but his body was not recovered until 2006 by an archaeological team led by Johan Vandewalle . James returned to Australia after the war, always hoping that he would one day be reunited with his brother. Thanks to DNA testing, John's body was identified and in 2007 he was reburied with military honours at the Buttes New British Cemetery, just a few hundred metres from the Brothers In Arms Memorial . The memorial, which shows James embracing his dying brother John, symbolises the deep emotional impact of war on families .

The Brothers In Arms Memorial is a memorial park in Zonnebeke, which commemorates all brothers and sisters who fought together during the First World War, of whom at least one was killed. The park officially opened on 25 September 2022 and features a life-size bronze sculpture of two brothers, designed by Australian sculptor Louis Laumen. The sculpture shows a brother hugging his fallen brother, symbolising the deep emotional impact of war on families.
