We still fall silent when we think back to the Great War. Dozens of villages in Heuvelland were wiped off the map and casualties were countless. And even though it is more than 100 years ago, you still find remnants of the First World War in our region: military cemeteries, memorials, trenches and more.
If you want to relive history or reflect on WWI, you can visit the Flanders Fields Museum in Ypres, follow the trail of French soldiers on the mapped out walk 'The Battle of the Kemmelberg', explore the command bunker under the Kemmelberg or visit Wytschaete Military Cemetery. And actually we could go on for quite a while listing all the activities related to the First World War. Something you should definitely not miss out on.
