Description by the author

This walking route keeps alive the memory of the famous German sculptor Käthe Kollwitz, who lost her son Peter during World War I at the Yser. During this 10.5 km journey, you will explore the area northeast of Vladslo, near Diksmuide. Along the way, you will become acquainted with the Welfvenest forest, the Praet forest, and especially the German military cemetery featuring the impressive artwork 'Mourning Parent Couple,' one of Käthe's masterpieces. A journey through a varied and authentic landscape.
