De Krekemeersen Retention Basin

Highlight • Lake

The Krekemeersen is a green oasis in the centre of Kortemark. They form a natural buffer in case of flooding due to the retention basin that was constructed at the confluence of the Grijsperrebeek, the Kasteelbeek and the Spanjaardbeek.
The area around the retention basin was given a multifunctional character in which water management, nature and recreation go together.
A great place to discover!

German Military Cemetery Hooglede

Highlight • Historical Site

Besides the historical background that inspired the architects of this tour, even for citizen of West Flanders (especially one of the cities along the traject) it is an amazing tour that proves that the region isn't that flat as we used to think. Every village has some small local 'hills', but traveling from one hill to another is quite impressive. If you do the trip during Covid-19, take enough drinks and some snacks in your Camelback.... and just enjoy the tour!

KOERS Museum of Cycling

Highlight • Monument

Flanders is course and course is Flanders. And the cradle? It is located in Roeselare. Odiel Defraeye was the first Belgian to win the Tour in 1912 and world champions from Roeselare – think of Benoni Beheyt, Patrick Sercu, Jean-Pierre Monseré, Freddy Maertens – are plentiful. You immediately understand why KOERS. Museum of Cycling in Roeselare.

Since September 2018, KOERS has been more than just a museum. It has an integrated tourist reception with a cycling shop and an extensive documentation center for researchers. With lockers, electric charging points and shower rooms, it is the ideal base for recreational and sporty cyclists. In the newly landscaped museum garden, which connects to the cycling junction network, you will find the cycling café that has been appropriately named 'KOERSkaffee'.

Roeselare Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

Roeselare opted for a completely new town hall, where sustainability is an important principle, with which they claim the title of "most sustainable town hall in Flanders".
For example, a 70% reduction in energy costs is expected, extensive rainwater recovery has been opted for, the building will be fully heated with energy generated by the local incinerator, ... and 99.5% of the demolition material has been given a new purpose. .
The building is currently still hidden behind scaffolding and curtains, but it should be completed in 2024.
The second photo (which I took from the website of the city of Roeselare) shows what it should look like later.
So we will have to come back again :-)
