WW1 Ieper (19 km)

Introduction

This WW1 Cycling Route has been created by the Rotary For You.
The heavily fortified city of Ypres withstood 17 sieges, the last one in 1914, when it was completely destroyed during WWI, as illustrated in the picture on the back of this calendar. Rebuilding the city in its original state took over 40 years.
