Sunglasses in the right position and off you go! Happiness is not in the destination but in the scent of the flowers on the way !! We leave for the atmospheric polder village of Booitshoeke, we scooter via the rural field road, away from the flat paths. The<strong> Old Zeedijk Mill<\/strong> Avekapelle comes into view and we continue our way, taking the Molenpad to the quiet Eggewaartskapelle. We follow the direction Lovaart where the<strong> Beauvoordse Walhoeve<\/strong>&nbsp; is situated. Here they not only make delicious cheese but also heavenly ice cream. Want to taste? We drive on the Millebrug into the Heydehoekstraat and free, cheerful and relaxed we continue to scoot through this charming part of Westhoek<strong>&nbsp;aka &#8220;Bachten de Kupe<\/strong> &#8220;.&nbsp; We pass meadows with grazing cattle, a farm and in the distance a church tower. At most, the peace is interrupted by a chugging tractor. The village of Lampernisse, the most quiet village of the west corner, is located between the extensive protected basin grounds and beautiful historic<strong> polder grasslands<\/strong> . When we arrive in Nieuwkapelle we follow the slop path towards the pits.&nbsp; We continue our way and&nbsp; follow the twists and turns of the Yser. &#8220;Sint-Jacobs-Kapelle&#8221; The village is one of the fifteen charming villages in the Westhoek and is also described as &#8220;The middle of the world&#8221;&nbsp; because of the charm and the silence that reigns.&nbsp; \u201c<strong>The&nbsp; Iron Tower<\/strong>\u201d&nbsp; comes into view. For several years now, the tower has housed a museum: Museum aan de Yzer. With its 84m, the Yser Tower is the highest peace monument in Europe. Would you like to take a detour and visit Diksmuide? The market, it<strong> beguinage<\/strong> , the fish market &#8230;. Then we follow the twists and turns of the IJzeren, passing the&nbsp; corridor of death or \u00ab<strong> Boyau de la Mort<\/strong> &#8220;this&nbsp; is a complex of preserved trenches from the First World War. There where the carcasses of the two petroleum tanks are, we take the field road to the Oude-Stuivekenskerke. Almost home, &#8216;t Antoontje is in sight !!!<\/p>\n<p>In the sun and out of the wind, settle in, taste our homemade picon and relive an incredible day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><div class=\"ngg-pro-mosaic-container\" data-ngg-pro-mosaic-id=\"ee427dde7ee08457592692b24a5d6959\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diksmuide market<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7329,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-route-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scootandfood.be\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scootandfood.be\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scootandfood.be\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scootandfood.be\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scootandfood.be\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4194"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/scootandfood.be\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4194\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4398,"href":"https:\/\/scootandfood.be\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4194\/revisions\/4398"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scootandfood.be\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scootandfood.be\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scootandfood.be\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scootandfood.be\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
