Tips from the Community

Kenny
August 27, 2025, Lijstermolen on Baneberg

The summit of the slope lies between the Rodeberg and the Vidaigneberg. Near the summit stands the Lijstermolen (Listers Mill). A chairlift runs between the Baneberg and the Vidaigneberg, gliding over the saddle valley between the two "mountains" and the vineyards of the Entre-Deux-Monts, offering panoramic views of northern France and the Belgian coastal plain. The summit is 140 meters high. The name comes from the Bane family, who owned the mountain in the 13th and 14th centuries. The slope is also sometimes called Gildestraat (Gilde Street). https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baneberg

The parish was founded in 1069. Originally, there was a Romanesque cruciform church. Eventually, there was a three-aisled hall church with a crossing tower and an octagonal superstructure. In 1794, the church was destroyed by fire. From 1805 to 1807, the church was restored. The eastern choir was demolished, leaving the crossing tower, particularly its lower structure, to form a portal. On the west side, the nave was extended and a new choir was built. During the First World War, the church was largely destroyed, but the tower was more or less spared. The church was rebuilt in the 1920s under the architecture of Jules Coomans. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sint-Eligiuskerk_(Westouter)

This section on the south side of the Rive Leie has a long stretch of off road double track, the surface differs, from moderately smooth to dried out tractor treads left in the soil. It is quite fast to ride through and fun

Be careful in freezing weather, the climb before the bridge is generally slippery and impassable.

The Gasthuisbosdreef in Zonnebeke is a beautiful route for mountain bikers, with a combination of straight sections and challenging forest paths. The avenue takes you through densely overgrown areas and along narrow paths that test your technical skills, especially in wet weather.
