Aperitif tour: The forts of Eksaarde (bicycle tour)

Verken de Hollandstellung, the bunkers from WWI that embrace the peaceful Moervaart valley like a silent belt of forts. Once a playground for the local youth, today a piece of living heritage. Along the way, you will come across traces of medieval fortifications such as the water castle of Eksaarde and the Bedmar line from 1701 – silent witnesses of centuries of geopolitical tensions. During this bike ride, you will discover how politics, military science, and geography together shaped military architecture. And who knows… we might even hide in a fort along the way. Just because we can. Meeting at Parking 2, Provinciaal Domein Puyenbroeck (swimming pool), Puidonkdreef 1, Wachtebeke. Registration from September 2 at 10:00.
