Keep along the street in front of the square, going away from the sea; about 100 yards beyond the tram-lines, turn left towards Knocke (2½ kms.)
Turn left, before reaching the church, to the mill, near which is the entrance to the "Kaiser Wilhelm II" Battery. The latter is armed with four 12in. long range guns, mounted on bridges, and pivoting round circular tracks in concrete pits, by means of electric motors (Photos, p. [84]).
If it is desired to go as far as Knocke-sur-Mer (1 km.), turn left, beyond the church, along Boulevard de Lippens.
This is the most northern seaside place on the Belgian coast. Its church (St. Margaret's) possesses a 15th century tower. During the war, the Germans transformed several houses on the dike into concrete shelters.
Return to Knocke, proceeding thence to Heyst along the road previously taken. Enter Heyst (3 kms.) by the Chaussée de Knocke; take Rue du Kursaal, on the left, then the Ramscappelle Road, on the right, bearing left again 400 yards further on. 2½ kms. beyond Ramscappelle-lez-Bruges take the road on the right and cross the Leopold Canal.
Go through Dudzeele village, to the right of which are the remains of a battery position, and further along the road, several concrete shelters.
Bruges (18 kms.) is entered by the Chaussée de Dudzeele. Take the Fort Lapin, on the left, then cross the bridges, on the right, to the Plaine des Ecluses.
Beyond the latter, follow Rempart des Bassins, then, on the left, Rue du Calvaire, prolonged by Rue St. Claire, Rue St. Georges and Rue Flamande, coming out at the Grand'Place (See plan between pp. [88] and [89].)
