Itinerary

Hooge Crater Museum

The Hooge Crater Museum has become Belgium's best private WWI museum. With its life-size reconstructions of World War I battle scenes, its extensive collection of weapons, equipment and photographs, this museum is a must see during our tour of the Ieper region. The Wolf will explain various scenes and answer all your questions.

30 minutes
Hill 62 (sanctuary Wood) Canadian Memorial

Sanctuary Wood is said to have earned its name in October 1914 when it was used as a 'sanctuary' to stragglers waiting to rejoin their units. The family who owns the land realised at an early stage that the wood would be of great interest to pilgrims and tourists. The trench lines and dugouts were enclosed, and the shattered trees fenced in. Today Sanctuary Wood is considered by many to offer the finest preserved trenches on the Western Front. Aside from battlefield artifacts the interior of the museum offers 3D stereoscopic photographs of highly graphic scenes taken during the war.

45 minutes
Menin Gate Memorial

The Menin Gate can be considered the overall symbol for World War I, but the Menin Gate is also a memorial to the missing. Inside are the names of some 55,000 Commonwealth soldiers who were reported missing before Aug. 15, 1917. Every evening at 8 p.m. sharp, the "Last Post" resounds under the Menin Gate. Daily activities come to a halt for a moment to remember the fallen soldiers of WWI.

30 minutes
Ieper (Ypres)

Walk around to pickup souvenirs and have lunch.

1 hour
In Flanders Fields Museum

The museum presents the story of the First World War in the West Flanders front region. It is located in the rebuilt Cloth Hall of Ypres, an important symbol of wartime hardship and later recovery. From this symbolic accommodation, the museum also pays great attention to the contemporary landscape as one of the last tangible witnesses of the war history. During your visit and after climbing the restored Belfry tower you can look out over the city and the surrounding battlefields.

1 hour 30 minutes
Passchendaele Museum

Experience the life of the military during WWI in our dugout and trenches. Using unique objects, we take you on a journey through the Battle of Passchendaele.

1 hour 45 minutes
Tyne Cot Cemetery

It is now the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the world in terms of burials. There are now 11,961 Commonwealth servicemen of the First World War buried or commemorated in Tyne Cot Cemetery. The TYNE COT MEMORIAL forms the north-eastern boundary of Tyne Cot Cemetery and commemorates nearly 35,000 servicemen from the United Kingdom and New Zealand who died in the Ypres Salient.
