Flanders Fields - Ieper

Flanders Fields, located in the region of West Flanders, Belgium, is one of the most poignant areas of World War I history. This region, stretching from the city of Ypres to the surrounding countryside, witnessed some of the most intense battles of the Great War. Ypres, once entirely reduced to rubble, is now a beautifully rebuilt city, home to the famous Menin Gate and the moving Last Post ceremony held every evening to honor the fallen soldiers. The ride in this tour takes you through the tranquil, rolling landscapes that contrast sharply with the area's tragic past. You’ll ride along scenic roads that weave through charming Belgian villages, visit key historical sites like the Tyne Cot Cemetery, the largest Commonwealth war grave in the world, and the Passchendaele Museum. And of course we have tips for sightseeing in Ypres, besides - of course - witnessing the Las Post. This is a tour that combines history, respect, and adventure in one unforgettable ride.
