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.

Unpaved Path Along the Handzamevaart

Highlight • Trail

The unpaved path along the Handzamevaart leads you through a quiet and green polder landscape. This path offers magnificent views over vast meadows and the calm water of the canal, often with only the singing of birds as company.

Yser Tower and Pax Gate Memorial, Diksmuide

Highlight • Monument

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.

From the top of the 84 meter high tower you have a wonderful panoramic view over Diksmuide and the Westhoek.

Leaning Tower of Pervijze

Highlight • Monument

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 😜.

Christmas Truce Monument Ramskapelle

Highlight • Monument

The small memorial on the former railway 74 Diksmuide-Nieuwpoort shows a Belgian, a French and a German soldier. The village of Rampskapelle was occupied by the Germans in October 1914, but a bloody attack drove them back behind the river Ijzer.
