with the bike to school
Those who come to school by bike can park their bikes in our bike parking area. Please remember to bring a fluorescent jacket and a bicycle helmet wear? This is how we work together for safety!
F37 Ypres - Roeselare
Between Ypres and Roeselare, you'll cycle most of the way along the pleasant Stroroute, a former railroad that has been converted into a green bicycle route.
F381 Ypres - Poperinge
The F381 follows the route of the N308 between Ypres and Poperinge. It is a straight route and cyclists have priority.
F372 Ypres - Menen
The bicycle highway Ypres-Menen (F372) runs via the Tulpenlaan and the Bijlanderpad in Ypres to the canal Ypres-Komen. At the Kasteelhoekstraat in Hollebeke, you cross the railroad line to then follow the canal again. Flirting along the border with Wallonia and France, this bicycle highway provides the connection between Ypres and Menen.
F381 Ypres - Kortemark
The F351 or Vrijbosroute is a bicycle highway along an old railroad bed. The Vrijbosroute takes you through an idyllic landscape past Staden and Langemark-Poelkapelle to Boezinge. There you can cycle along the Ieperleekanaal until you reach Ypres.
F38 Ypres - Veurne
The construction of this bicycle highway goes hand in hand with how the N8 will be laid out in the future. So this bicycle highway will have many assets for more bicycle traffic in this region in the future.
