The beautifully maintained cemetery, overseen by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, connects you with the tangible memories of the sacrifices made here. Close to this historically charged site, you will find the Messines Ridge. This renowned climb provides a breathtaking view over the surrounding landscape. The route also passes by the Spanbroekmolen British Cemetery in Wijtschate. Here you have the chance to pause again and reflect on the history of the region, before completing your walk.

Friday, April 3, 2026 by OLIVIER DUPONTThis hike is truly a gem. It’s really wonderful, and it’s such a rare treat to be able to climb a church bell tower and take in the 360° view. The rolling fields and the woods are lovely, too. I’ve done this route several times now, and I never get tired of it. It’s truly perfect.
