In 2026 still in need of repair ;-) Lots of mud next to the path.

A very well-maintained cemetery right by the water.

Ramparts Cemetery, Lille Gate is a British military cemetery for the war dead of the First World War, located in the Belgian city of Ypres. The cemetery is situated within the Ypres ramparts, next to the Lille Gate, and covers an area of 1,871 m².

The Rijselpoort (Lille Gate) is a city gate in the Belgian city of Ypres. It is located in the south of the city center, on the road to Lille. The Rijselpoort is the oldest and only preserved city gate from the fourteenth century, connecting two remaining sections of Ypres's fortifications.

Two corrections: Contrary to what the original name of this highlight stated, you are not in the Begelen domain (which is located in Gullegem, about 25 km from here), but in the Palingbeek domain. And, contrary to what another user here stated, this was not previously a mining area (in the sense of a mining area), but an area scarred by mines and bombs during the First World War.

Beautiful and challenging walk

Stairs... stroller not so obvious

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.
