Unpaved path along the old railway line.

Around 1870, a railway line was built between Poperinge and Hazebroek. In 1915, the army laid a double track and dismantled everything after the war.

This railway line was the main and virtually the only line for supplying Ypres and the front with soldiers and ammunition. Remy Siding, a group of evacuation hospitals that made priority use of this railway, was also located along this line.

't Oud Spoor (Old Railway): The most commonly used general term for the track.

De Vergeten Route (Forgotten Route): Referring to the tourist theme.
't Stretje van de Izeren Weg (Iron Road): A more archaic name for a path on an old railway track.

Vleterbeek - Abele

Highlight • Trail

Unpaved path just across the border.
There you can connect to the old Poperinge-Hazebroek railway bed, a path that runs along the Vleterbeek towards Godsvelde.

The Vleterbeek originates from the Katsberg in the municipality of Godewaarsvelde in French Flanders and flows into Belgium from Abele. Only in the center of Poperinge does the Vleterbeek join the Bommelaarsbeek-Hipshoekbeek and is called the Poperingevaart. At the Elzendamme bridge the Poperingevaart flows into the IJzer.
