랑게마르크 - 폴카펠레 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

Horafrost 공장 구간(나무가 늘어선 구간)을 벗어날 때 트랙을 다시 찾는 것이 조금 어렵습니다. 다행히 쐐기풀은 없지만 키 큰 풀이 있습니다.

Shady in sunny and warm weather

time to reflect on the past

In front of the cemetery there are a series of information boards about the war history of Hooglede in general and this German cemetery in particular. To the left of the cemetery, in the parking lot, there is a QR code that leads you to the fictional nurse Ida. From the perspective of a care provider, she tells you a historically substantiated story about the course of the war and the misery she experienced. You can choose between a version with or without augmented reality. For this you only need to download the free app 'Een laatste groet' (from the App Store or Google Play Store).

This station building is history. Now a nice place to rest.

Although the fame of this place as "Peace Mill" refers to the First World War (a monument value that only acquired its current form in the summer of 2013), the history of the mill goes back to the third quarter of the 18th century. In 1766, a wooden post mill was built here. In 1879, the then owner replaced the wooden mill with the stone tower mill, supplemented a year later with a steam engine (in an outbuilding), so that milling could also take place when there was no wind. The current outbuilding dates from after WWI (1920).

The Vredesmolen (also "Old mill", "Van Couillie's mill" or "Shooted mill") is a former windmill in the Belgian village of Klerken (Houthulst). The former wooden grain and oil mill is located at the highest point of the village (43 meters) and was therefore used as a lookout post by the Germans during the First World War. During the final offensive it was captured by the Allies, but the Germans had already left the mill via an underground passage. The mill is a rare example of a mill ruin and became a protected monument on April 1, 1999. On the same date it also received its official name "Peace Mill". source: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vredesmolen

These singletacks in this neighborhood are never boring! Be careful, just like I said, small resistance is needed in Keuneleute, the gradient increases to just under 10%, the average is 5%. The worst climb is to enter at the south gate and keep to the right. Don't forget to visit the polder forest, closer to Westrozebeke.
