At this location you can get acquainted with an old observation post of the Belgian army. The observation post was built on the foundations of the old rectory tower. How many storms will this tower be able to withstand? It looks like he could fall over at any moment. In the shadow of the tower you can observe the different construction phase 😜.

Frontzate path through the greenery

Highlight • Cycleway

Frontzate is a walking and cycling path of almost 15 km long between Nieuwpoort and Diksmuide.
During the Great War, this old railway line 74 between Diksmuide and Nieuwpoort was a strategically important front line. Because the bed is on average more than one meter higher than the surrounding polder land, the berm serves as a defense line and also as a flood barrier. Both left and right of the old railway bed are brick or concrete constructions. Along the Frontzate there are approximately 163 different building structures that are linked to the period 1914 - 1918.
Keep your eyes open and follow the war past.
On this route you will also come across several well-preserved bunker complexes.
A moment to step away and dive back into the past.

In the IJzer Tower you will find the Museum on the IJzer. It tells the story of the Belgian-German front during World War I through the stories of soldiers, refugees and civilians on both sides of the front.

Diksmuide Market Square

Highlight • Historical Site

The market of Diksmuide is a lively and historic place in the center of the city. On the Grote Markt in Diksmuide, merchants have been offering their merchandise at the weekly Monday market since the thirteenth century. Now there is also the farmer's market on Saturday afternoon, where local producers sell their delicious farm products in an atmospheric market.
Diksmuide is also known as the Butter City. The Boterhalle and the Boter- en Kaasfeesten on Whit Monday bear witness to this. The statue 'Het Manneke uit de Mane' is the symbol of Flemish humor that is guarded by the 'Orde van het Manneke', while the statue of General-Baron Jacques reminds us of the Battle of Diksmuide in 1914.
The center of Diksmuide received a thorough facelift. The aim of the project was to make the center of Diksmuide more attractive. The Grote Markt is now a pleasant square. The trees, benches and water elements make it really cozy.
