독일군 군사 초소 Hill 60에서 서쪽으로 약 1km 떨어진 Groenenburgbos에는 제1차 세계 대전 당시의 다양한 콘크리트 군사 초소와 그 잔해, 그리고 폭탄 구덩이와 참호 구조와 같은 지형적 흔적들이 남아 있습니다. 여기에 설명된 구조물은 Kranenburgstraat 서쪽, 두 산책로가 교차하는 지점에서 찾을 수 있습니다. 이곳은 튼튼한 독일군 기관총 초소와 은신처가 있던 곳으로, 현재는 파손된 상태입니다. Groenenburgbos는 영국군이 명명한 Shrewsbury Forest의 일부였습니다. 이 구조물은 영국군 군사 지도에 Illusive Avenue와 Jeer Trench로 표시된 두 산책로의 교차점에 위치해 있습니다. https://inventaris.onroerenderfgoed.be/erfgoedobjecten/213540

The provincial domain of Gasthuisbossen (Hospital Forests) originated during the Middle Ages when the wealthiest inhabitants of Ypres sought to earn their keep by donating to churches and monasteries. This enabled the construction of impressive Gothic churches between 1200 and 1350. They also founded almshouses and almshouses: a combination of hospital, poor relief, and asylums (now the Public Centre for Social Welfare). To finance the operation of their almshouses and almshouses, the wealthy also donated agricultural land and forests. Thus, there are 220 hectares of "Hospital Forests" around Ypres. The Ypres Gasthuisbossen encompass eight domains: Huikerbossen and Padhoekbos, Twaalfgemetenbos and Papenelst, Zwarte Leenbos, Groenenburg, Zandvoordebos, Godtschalck Domain, Hoge Netelaar, and Drieblotenbos. In Wijtschate, there is also Kampagnebos. In 1996, over 200 hectares of forest were leased by the Ypres region to the Province of West Flanders. The Gasthuisbossen now form a provincial domain. This information is from the map "Ypres Salient Walking Network."

The Polygon Forest, also known as Polygon Wood, is a historically and ecologically valuable forest area in Zonnebeke. The forest is located on the Central West Flemish ridge and is an important breeding ground for birds of prey such as sparrowhawks, kestrels and buzzards. The Polygon Forest also houses important war memorials, including the Buttes New British Cemetery and the smaller Polygon Wood Cemetery. These cemeteries are a tribute to the soldiers who died during the First World War. An interesting anecdote concerns the Scott Post and the New Zealand Bunkers, which can still be found in the forest. These bunkers were built by the Germans and later occupied by the Australian divisions in 1917.

Eight memorial gardens were created, each in the shape of a poppy, a symbol of the war. Each garden was designed to commemorate the unique contribution and sacrifice of each country during the Battle of Passchendaele, using symbolic vegetation, modern art and poetry. The following countries were involved: Belgium, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, France, Germany, USA.

Beautiful forest to relax.

For the attentive walker. The building exploded from the inside. Presumably by detonating explosives found after the war.

It is believed that this building was destroyed after the war when explosives that were found were stacked and detonated.

Edgard Robert Mobbs (9/6/1882 - 31/7/1917) was a well-known English rugby player who died nearby. His body was never found.
