Polar Bear cycling route

The Polar Bear bike route was inaugurated in 2014. The route is 32 km long and takes you past monuments and memorial sites related to World War II.

Why a polar bear as a marker? The soldiers who liberated Wuustwezel were Brits from the 49th (West Riding) Infantry Division, and they had a polar bear as a symbol. This route and the monument at the Kruisweg serve as a lasting reminder of the men who wore the Polar Bear on their uniforms.

Starting and ending point: Dorpsstraat 36, 2990 Wuustwezel

Signage: black-yellow signage in the shape of a polar bear on the roadway
