Pool of Peace -

Description

The Spanbroekmolen crater, also called Pool of Peace, is the largest and most imposing mine crater in the Westhoek. The crater was created by the explosion of deep mines during the Mine Battle of 1917. What remains is a 12 meter deep pond. The site "Pool of Peace" is a peaceful piece of nature in the rolling landscape of Heuvelland.
In the run-up to the period 2014-2018 you will be able to visit both the Pool of Peace and the nearby British cemeteries Lone Tree Cemetery and Spanbroekmolen Cemetery via a walking loop.

Le cratère Spanbroekmolen, appelé également « Etang de la Paix » est le cratère de mines le plus grand et le plus imposant de tout le Westhoek. Ce cratère a été formé par l'explosion de mines profondes durant la Bataille des Mines de 1917, et a désormais fait place à un étang de 12 mètres de profondeur. L'Etang de la Paix est un havre de paix et de méditation au milieu du paysage vallonné qui caractérise Heuvelland.
Dans la perspective de la période de commémoration prévue entre 2014 et 2018, un sentier de promenade sera bientôt aménagé afin de pouvoir visiter l'Etang de la Paix, ainsi que les cimetières britanniques voisins, à savoir Lone Tree Cemetery et Spanbroekmolen Cemetery.
