25 WULVERGEM
The village is the smallest in the municipality Heuvelland, with only about 260 inhabitants and an area of 350 ha. Wulvergem would have originated along a Roman road. This ran from Belle over the Ravelsberg, ‘the Walletjes’ in Nieuwkerke and Kraaiberg to Messines and on to Wervik. At that time Wulvergem was not yet where it is now.
