Tip by

13.5 km

The Knokkebrug is located on the border of Diksmuide with Lo-Reninge and Houthulst, although the coat of arms of the latter municipality hangs on the railing. It owes its name to the Fort Knocke that the Spaniards built there in 1590 and that was once of great military importance. Today there is a cone-shaped shelter, a rest and information point for cyclists. The drawbridge is located at the confluence of the Yser with the Ieperlee Canal.

Knokkebrug Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

A new viewing point has opened at the Knokke Bridge in Houthulst, where the Yser and Ieperlee rivers meet. The braided structure is located on the border of Houthulst, Lo-Reninge, and Diksmuide and offers visitors a unique view of the Yser wetlands and the remains of the historic "Fort De Knocke."

Jaagpad Westbroek

Highlight • Trail

Unpaved path with bridges along the IJzer.

The Westbroek is one of the ecologically most valuable sub-areas of the floodable IJzerbroeken. The right bank of the Yser is not diked between the French-Belgian border and Diksmuide. This gives the river the opportunity to overflow its banks into its natural winter bed during heavy rainfall, especially in winter: the 'breeches'.

Fintele Lock

Highlight • Monument

Fintele lock is a lock and spillway located in Fintele, a hamlet in Pollinkhove, Lo-Reninge. It is located at the confluence of the Lovaart and the Yser. During the First World War, Fintele was close to the front, but was not badly damaged. In World War II, just before the capitulation of May 1940, the lock was blown up by the Belgians for tactical reasons. It was completely rebuilt in 1943.
