코트리크 최고의 러닝 경로

Trakelweg 쪽의 Ronde van Vlaanderenbrug 다리 머리는 스포츠 장소로 인기가 많습니다. 거의 매일 이곳에서 운동하는 사람들을 볼 수 있습니다 - 개인 코치와 함께이든 아니든. 스포츠 코치이자 EDE Sport and Movement의 소유주인 Edward Houpline은 이 장소를 자주 이용하는 사람으로서, 도시 프로젝트 보조금 'Paint your city'를 활용하여 다리 머리에 색을 입히자는 제안을 제출했습니다. 이를 위해 그는 거리 예술가 LA.KUS(Koksijde) 및 KIEWIE.9000(Gent)과 협력했습니다. 2023년 봄에 완성된 예술 작품은 Leie 강과 스포츠 활동을 향한 경의를 표합니다. 출처: pers.kortrijk.be

In 1647, under the French occupation of the city of Courtrai, a large fort, or the "Citadel of Courtrai," was built. This fort was designed by the French war engineer Vauban. In 1684, the city of Courtrai was liberated by the Spanish Netherlands and the fort was destroyed. Years later, in 1854, Felix Verscheure built a brewery on this reclaimed land with the name "Brasserie LeFort," referring to the old Fort. The brewery flourished in a period of optimism, pride and elegance. Brand names did not yet exist, so all beers were named after this beautiful city brewery. In 1898, Omer Vander Ghinste made his first acquaintance with Marguerite Vandamme, the granddaughter of Felix Verscheure, owner of Brasserie LeFort on the Plein in Kortrijk. Felix started that brewery in 1854 and ran it for more than 50 years. When Felix Verscheure died in 1911, however, he had outlived both his children and his children-in-law. Marguerite Vandamme inherited the brewery and many pubs in Kortrijk. Brewing activities were discontinued on the Plein in Kortrijk and transferred to the brewery in Bellegem. The period of Brasserie LeFort was characterized by beers with a high alcohol content. LeFort and Tripel LeFort are a tribute to the rich tradition of this Kortrijk brewery. Today, the remains of Brasserie LeFort serve as a restaurant (De Trog) which was renamed Plein12 (https://www.pleintwaalf.be) in 2024 . https://www.omervanderghinste.be/en/onze-bieren/tripel-lefort https://www.hln.be/kortrijk/eethuis-de-trog-neemt-nieuwe-start-als-lunchhuis-plein-twaalf-klassiekers-zoals-slaatje-geitenkaas-blijven-we-geven-er-wel-nieuwe-touch-aan~a391148b/

well done to the cyclists.

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
