Blockhaus d'Éperlecques Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

This 22m high bunker protrudes like a mountain of concrete above the fôret d'Eperlecques. It was built as a launching pad to bombard London with V2 rockets. The 5m thick concrete capstone was gradually lifted with a jack system as construction progressed. He had to protect the workers from the bombardments. But on August 27, 1943, 185 "flying fortresses" launched in England dropped several tons of bombs on the bunker. Numerous deportees who were employed there died in the bombardment. The bunker was then enlarged to house a liquid oxygen plant.

Along the Sartebecque

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

ABSOLUTELY to be avoided. You simply cannot cycle here, let alone tour or gravel. I do not understand why this is marked as a highlight. And will not recommend it after a few days. You constantly hope that it will improve, but it does not.

Panorama sur Muncq Nieurlet

Highlight • Other

The Euroroute R1 passes here! The French section of the Euroroute R1 is about 97 km long and leads from the channel coast, either from Boulogne-sur-Mer or Calais, through Nord-Pas-de-Calais to the Belgian border. The route from Boulogne-sur-Mer to Watten is 64 km long and is surprisingly hilly, while the route from Calais to Watten is 36 km long and nearly flat. The Euroroute R1 between Watten and the Belgian border at Oost-Cappel is 35 km long and crosses the plane of Yser in French Flanders. The route in France is rather rural and passes through contemplative villages and small towns with worth seeing churches along the way.
