The Ypres Salient was formed at the end of October 1914. An arched front formed around Ypres. Both armies dug in and fought from a continuous system of trenches and mine galleries. From May 1915 to August 1917, the "Little Ypres arc" remained virtually unchanged. Half a million soldiers of more than 50 nationalities died. This made 'the Salient' one of the most notorious areas along the Western Front. Through this bicycle tour you will discover the front lines around Ypres.
