The ‘Pioneer walking loop’ is entirely dedicated to the German war story. Various aspects are covered along the route. For instance, you will learn about unprecedented construction work, which took place in our region between 1915 and 1917, and the wartime suffering on the German side.

This route connects beautiful, unknown places in the hilly landscape east of Zonnebeke.

Description: WWI, German deployment, Battle of Passchendaele, Fortification, German lines, Railway line, Keiberg
