Old Railway Carriage and Track

Highlight • Structure

It's nice to see the old wagon. You can climb up and take a look inside. It's a shame Natuurpunt (Nature Conservation Society) put graffiti there.

The Old Distillery

Highlight • Cafe

D’Oude Stokerij, also called ’t Stokerijtje, is a former local agricultural distillery and distillery from 1752. Some say that this is where the early beginnings of Wortegem lemon jenever lie. Now it is a cozy little cafe with a very unique beer menu with about 200 regional beers. In the past, the rumor went around that d' Oude Stokerij was in possession of a very large rabbit - the largest in Belgium!. If someone wanted to see it, the innkeeper would open a dark cage on the yard and invite the curious person to go inside. When the victim was inside, they would say: "You have to look carefully, the rabbit is right at the end of the cage!". They would promptly close the door and lock it. And so the "cureuzeneuze" was locked in the dark for a while, much to the delight of family and friends!

With the MTB it is more fun to climb the Nokereberg via the Vijverdamstraat.

The Flanders Field American Cemetery and Memorial is an American military cemetery in the Belgian city of Waregem, located at the intersection of the Wortegemseweg and the Bosstraat, near the exit of the E17 motorway. It is the only American cemetery in Belgium with soldiers who died in the First World War. It is located near the Spitaalsbossen, the place where most American soldiers died during the Battle of the Scheldt around 1 November 1918. Soldiers who were initially buried elsewhere were ceremonially reburied at the Flanders Field American Cemetery in the years after the Armistice. The architect of the cemetery is Paul P. Cret from Philadelphia, in the American state of Pennsylvania.
he Flanders Field American Cemetery and Memorial is 2.4 hectares in size and consists of a central diamond in which the memorial chapel is central. On each side of the central square are four identical sections with 92 graves each. Of the total of 368 gravestones, 360 graves have Latin crosses and 8 gravestones have a Star of David (in each section the 2 rear ones). 21 of the 368 graves contain bodies that could not be identified. The chapel contains the names of the 43 American soldiers who have no known grave. On the four extensions of the diagonals are circular recesses, each containing an urn. The decorated urns are engraved with the insignia of the four American divisions that fought in Belgium: 27th div A.E.F., 30th div A.E.F., 37th div A.E.F. and 91st div A.E.F.
