Discover this beautiful route along the water from the historic center of Diksmuide. The center is a perfect place to have a pint after your return! This cycle route takes you along the waters of Diksmuide. You depart from the Grote Markt, a nice place to drink a cup of coffee. Just after this last site, take a cycle path towards Oud-Stuivekenskerke, where the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwhoekje is located.

Sights
Onze-Lieve-Vrouwhoekje

http://www.bezoekdiksmuide.be/onze-lieve-vrouwhoekje
During the Great War, this forward position was an important vantage point. The chapel in honor of Our Lady of the Victory and many monuments and columns refer to the Battle of the Yser.
Begijnhof Diksmuide
Begijnhof 2

The Begijnhof was built in the thirteenth century behind the city canals. After the First World War it took on a social role: first as a rest home, today as a residential area for adults with a mental handicap. You will also find a small chapel where you can burn another candle. The gift shop 'The house of Miss Sibylle' offers nice authentic and artisan creations, made by people with a mental handicap.
Vismarkt
Vismarkt

http://www.bezoekdiksmuide.be/Vismarkt
For a long time, the city navigation or Handzamevaart was the boundary between the early urban core. In the thirteenth century, craftsmen took over the lower grounds, north of the city center. The canal became a lively inland port, of which we can still find traces of the quay wall with mooring rings and loading and unloading steps at the Vismarkt.
Kasteel De Blankaart
Independently fortified building from the Middle Ages that was easily defended at that time and in the past was mostly inhabited by the noble families of Belgium
