Description by the author

La route à vélo en hommage à la vie de Martien, le grand-père de l'écrivain Stefan Hertmans, merveilleusement racontée dans le livre "Guerre et Terpentine" (Martien symbolise aussi les nombreux héros de la Première Guerre mondiale). Ce parcours suit en partie le chemin emprunté par les troupes auxquelles Martien appartenait, après la bataille de Schiplaken (où la route commence), durant la Première Guerre mondiale. Ces troupes marchèrent alors de Schiplaken à Zaventem (août 1914). Là, Martien put admirer brièvement le chef-d'œuvre de van Dyck dans l'église de Zaventem, au milieu de toute l'horreur de la Première Guerre mondiale. La route continue d'un autre chemin pour revenir à Schiplaken, formant ainsi une boucle fermée.

Le parcours suit en grande partie le réseau de nœuds cyclables, à l'exception de la partie pour atteindre le centre de Zaventem.

Pour saisir le titre complet, je te recommande de lire le merveilleux livre de Stefan Hertmans "Guerre et Terpentine", car il a aussi une dimension historico-politique.
