Path on the Bunker Walking Route Gijzenzele

Highlight • Trail

The path on the Bunker walking route near Gijzenzele winds through a landscape full of history, where you walk past various old bunkers from the Second World War, surrounded by wide fields and green meadows. The flat, easy to walk path gives you plenty of opportunity to quietly take in the serene surroundings and the heritage.

Bunker A36 (Ghent Bridgehead, Gijzenzele)

Parish Church of Saint Bavo

Highlight • Religious Site

The bunker route starts at the church of Gijzenzele: a 13 km walk that leads past several bunkers that were part of the Bruggenhoofd Gent, a defense line that was built in the mid-1930s.

The cemetery contains one British war dead from the First World War. His grave is listed with the CWGC under Gijzenzele Churchyard.

Dockersmolen (Watermill of Moortsele)

Highlight • Monument

This old Moortsele watermill, the Dockersmolen or Mill of Hof ter Loo, belonged to the farm 'Hof ter Loo' (that is why it is sometimes called "Molen van Hof ter Loo"), which was first mentioned in writings from 1475. The farm was then owned by the Marquises of Rode. The construction of the water mill probably dates from before 1547. The only historical indication that it was rebuilt dates from 1616. In 1974, however, the constant water pressure became too much for the centuries-old mill. The iron-clad overshot wheel fell into disrepair. The mill was protected as a monument in 1993.
The entire building is currently in a very bad condition.
Peeking through one of the windows, I thought I saw that restoration (?) was being done behind the building.
