    Located near Ypres, a region synonymous with the horrors of war, Woodmuseum Hill 62 sits on ground that witnessed some of the fiercest battles of the Great War. Its significance lies not only in its strategic position but also in its preservation of trench warfare artifacts and its dedication to commemorating the sacrifices made by soldiers from around the world. Visitors to Woodmuseum Hill 62 are transported back in time as they explore the preserved trenches, bunkers, and artifacts that dot the landscape. These trenches, once bustling with activity and fraught with danger, now serve as a solemn reminder of the human cost of conflict.

    Nestled within the historic city walls, this solemn burial ground serves as a final resting place for soldiers who fought and fell in the brutal battles of World War I. As one enters the cemetery, the rows of meticulously tended graves stretch out in silent tribute to the lives lost in the tumult of war. Each headstone, weathered by time yet still bearing the names of the fallen, tells a story of courage, camaraderie, and sacrifice. The Ramparts Cemetery is a testament to the multinational character of the conflict, with soldiers from various nations interred side by side, united in death as they were in duty. The cemetery's location within the ancient city walls adds a layer of poignancy to the site. The sturdy ramparts, once integral to the defense of Ypres, now serve as a solemn guardian to the fallen, their weathered stones bearing witness to the passage of time and the enduring scars of conflict.

    Every evening since 1928, with the exception of the years of German occupation during World War II, the Last Post ceremony has taken place under the Menenpoort. This simple yet profoundly moving ceremony, organized by the Last Post Association, honors the memory of the fallen by sounding the traditional bugle call known as the Last Post. The ceremony attracts visitors from around the world who gather to pay their respects and to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The Menenpoort holds a special place in the hearts of veterans, families, and visitors alike, serving as a symbol of remembrance and reconciliation. Its location at the eastern entrance to the city of Ypres, near where countless soldiers passed through on their way to the front lines, adds to its significance as a site of pilgrimage for those seeking to honor the memory of the fallen.

Awesome guiding trip. We booked with a six persons family the Ypres tour and loved every bit of it. Interesting history, beautiful scenery and breathtaking stories. The best part of the trip was the guide Joris. He is so enthousiastic and very funny. Loved his silly jokes and haunting stories. This guy knows what's up! Tip: ask him for a handstand haha :)
