Characteristic are the West Flemish Hills and the Mid-West Flemish Hillridge, an alternation of subtle heights and lows.<\/p>\n<p>The West Flemish Hills, located in the south of Ypres, originated as large sandbanks in a primordial sea. After they dried up, the dunes petrified into hard sandstone banks that remained as &#8216;witness hills&#8217;, formed by erosion. 1.7 million years ago, the Mid-West Flanders Ridge, east of Ypres, was also created by a primordial river. After drying up, the bed of sand, gravel and boulders resists the erosive forces that deeply eroded the surrounding area.<\/p>\n<p>You stand here at an altitude of 54 metres above sea level and overlook the valley of the IJzer (river). You are on a divide between valleys, with the Valley of the Leie stretching out behind you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip<\/strong>: In front of you you\u2019ll find the church tower of Zonnebeke. The tower and viewpoint is accessible free of charge. At a height of 40 metres, the tower offers a 360\u00b0 view of the area. In clear weather, you can see the Witness Hills, plains of the IJzer and even Roeselare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","locatie":[],"zien_doen_gezelschap":[],"zien_doen_categorie":[],"zien_doen_type":[],"zien_doen_faciliteiten":[],"zien_doen_kids":[],"class_list":["post-64700","zien-en-doen","type-zien-en-doen","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.toerismezonnebeke.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zien-en-doen\/64700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.toerismezonnebeke.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zien-en-doen"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.toerismezonnebeke.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/zien-en-doen"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.toerismezonnebeke.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"locatie","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.toerismezonnebeke.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/locatie?post=64700"},{"taxonomy":"zien_doen_gezelschap","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.toerismezonnebeke.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zien_doen_gezelschap?post=64700"},{"taxonomy":"zien_doen_categorie","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.toerismezonnebeke.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zien_doen_categorie?post=64700"},{"taxonomy":"zien_doen_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.toerismezonnebeke.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zien_doen_type?post=64700"},{"taxonomy":"zien_doen_faciliteiten","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.toerismezonnebeke.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zien_doen_faciliteiten?post=64700"},{"taxonomy":"zien_doen_kids","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.toerismezonnebeke.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zien_doen_kids?post=64700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
