The path on the Bunker walking route near Gijzenzele winds through a landscape full of history, where you walk past various old bunkers from the Second World War, surrounded by wide fields and green meadows. The flat, easy to walk path gives you plenty of opportunity to quietly take in the serene surroundings and the heritage.

Parish Church of Saint Bavo

Highlight • Religious Site

The bunker route starts at the church of Gijzenzele: a 13 km walk that leads past several bunkers that were part of the Bruggenhoofd Gent, a defense line that was built in the mid-1930s.

The cemetery contains one British war dead from the First World War. His grave is listed with the CWGC under Gijzenzele Churchyard.
