Walk · 1 h · free · Vauban ramparts above the moat, with the Ramparts Cemetery beside the Lille Gate

Ypres has kept almost its entire belt of ramparts, with the moat full of water, and a tree-lined path runs along the top. The classic stretch goes from the Menin Gate south to the Lille Gate, the Rijselpoort, with the guardhouse and the lock room. Next to it, the Ramparts Cemetery is a tiny military cemetery, at the water's edge.
How to do it
Climb onto the rampart next to the Menin Gate and walk south with the moat on your left; on the way back, enter the town along the Rijselstraat. The ramparts have nine access points for wheelchairs and pushchairs. It is free and always open.
