Tips from the Community
The Sint-Ackaarsbos in Houtkerke. In the local dialect and on old maps, this forest is also often called the Sint-Achaarsbosch. The name refers to Saint Acharius (Saint-Accaire), a 7th-century bishop who was venerated in this region (the old diocese of Tournai-Noyon). The name of the village itself literally means "the church in the wood (forest)". The Sint-Ackaarsbos is one of the last remnants of the large forests that formerly covered this part of the French Westhoek.

Nice Statue of Eliane Cossey (Poperinge, 9 December 1902 – London, 1942), known by the nickname Ginger, was a striking red-haired precocious child in the Belgian town of Poperinge during the First World War. The café "A la Poupée", an unpronounceable name for English speakers, on the main square grew under the name "Ginger's" into one of the most famous taverns behind "The Ypres Salient". The appeal of the young diva can be read in various diary excerpts and in the Visitors Book with compliments and drawings.

It was from Steenvoorde that the Beeldenstorm spread rapidly throughout the Netherlands. In the church, you can still see a bell from the Laurentius Monastery. The Beeldenstorm began here with the shattering of all the statues and furnishings of this monastery. No trace remains of the monastery itself, located a few kilometers from Steenvoorde. Only a place name, Gallicized to Saint-Laurent, now a rest stop along the Lille-Dunkirk motorway, remains as a reminder. The church itself has a turbulent history. After falling victim to the Beeldenstorm in 1566, it burned down in 1576, was destroyed by the French in 1644, and was rebuilt in late Gothic style between 1660 and 1664. The tower dates from 1712, and the brick spire was built in 1890 and 1891. In May 1940, the church was again severely damaged. In 1950 it was restored.

Centrally located in Poperinge right next to the Hopmuseum. Enjoy a delicious regional beer on the terrace in the inner courtyard or try a snack in the cozy café. The bistro is located between cycle route junctions 16 and 46, the ideal stopping place during your bike tour. The historic Stadsschaal complex includes both the Hopmuseum and the museum café. The site originally belonged to the monastery of the reccolet fathers and until the late 1960s, hops were weighed, inspected, and pressed here. Dirk Frimout, the first Belgian in space, was also born here in 1941.

The Hopmuseum is the ideal starting point for your journey of discovery through the hop and beer world of Westhoek. In the past, this stately building housed the town scale for weighing and inspecting hops. That historical atmosphere still lingers but has received a nice update. In the museum, you will learn about the history of hop cultivation, harvesting, and processing; interspersed with interesting videos about how things are done on farms and breweries today. Admire the Belgian Beer Collection with over 2,500 collected beers, digitized in the 'beer table'. For children, there are various age-appropriate treasure hunts. Open: February 18 - November 30: Tuesday to Sunday & public holidays from 10:00 to 17:30. Every first Sunday of the month, the museum brings the brewery to life. On that day, you can visit the museum for free and enjoy fascinating tours and activities.
