Cycling along the Leie between Wervik and Wevelgem

The municipality of Wevelgem is located along the French border. As in many parts of Belgium, the First and Second World Wars have left their mark on the history of the town. For example, a remnant of the First World War is the German Military Cemetery, where almost 48,000 fallen soldiers were buried. It is the largest German cemetery in Belgium. But not only the wars have left their mark; There are many historical glimpses into the past in Wevelgem. Various churches, chapels and castles are jewels that make Wevelgem a romantic town. We also advise you to try a Wevelgemse Tripel, the beer brewed in Wevelgem.
