Ypres was one of the most important cloth producing and cloth trading cities of the county of Flanders in the high Middle-Ages. Bruges is known all over the world for being a beautifully preserved medieval town, but if the First World War (The Great War) had not raged over Ypres, perhaps Ypres would have been as famous as Bruges. By 1918 almost nothing remained of the city, because it was in the middle of the frontline between the German and the Allied Armies. Ypres was bombed to pieces and almost wiped off the face of the earth.
But Ypres rose again, and resumed its role as the prime city of the Flemish Westhoek (= the western part of the Belgian Province of West-Flanders, the area behind the river IJzer).

Ending up in Ieper

Jul 19, 2008 - Jul 21, 2008
The 21st of July is our National Holiday and as tradition wants it, it's either (in 80% of the cases) raining or there's a heat wave on, so it didn't come as a surprise that as soon as we crossed the border into Belgium, it started to rain. We weren't looking forward of getting back home so soon, so when we saw the sign for Ieper, we looked at each other and said 'let's stop for coffee'. Well, that was the best decision we'd made the whole weekend. As soon as we drove into town, we knew we ...

A little troubling

Our last day in Belgium we went back to Calais through the battlefields of Flanders, stopping at the a couple of cemetaries and museums (Hill 62 was particularly extensive) and finally Ieper, partially rebuilt after being totally flattened during the fighting. It was fairly moving and disturbing to be there. Huge numbers of men simply threw themselves at each other, hoping not to get shot before the barrels on their opponents machine guns got too hot. The range of items collected by the guy w...
