the Ypres salient

We are pleased to welcome you to the website.

The Ypres Salient describes the ridge that forms the watershed between the basin of the Lys-Scheldt and the Yser. The Ypres Salient played a significant role during the First World War.

The reason for the launch of the website is the industrial belt of wind turbines that are springing up like mushrooms at a stone’s throw from the historic city of Ypres.

With this offer we give you the opportunity to find specific information about the Ypres region. We hope you find information here that interests you.

In a free state, tongues must also be free. (Erasmus)
