The Great War

After establishing a clubhouse in December 1915, now known as Talbot House, Poperinge even became the base for entertainment. Soldiers could enjoy themselves there carefree, have fun and, yes, even unwind for a while. There was entertainment and music for soldiers of every rank.

But there were also casualties. Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery is just one witness to the years of war. You found the largest evacuation hospital in the Ypres Salient there.

Discover the history of Poperinge.

Hops & Beer

So whoever says Poperinge, says hops. Whoever says hops, says beer. Which beer and how much will you discover at the hop museum. There you will learn everything about the history, picking and processing. Worth a visit! 

To make your Hop&Beer experience complete, a visit to Brewery St.Bernardus is a must. Founded in 1946, the brewery recently underwent a true transformation.

The new visitor experience opened in the summer of 2023, where you can discover the unique story of St.Bernardus at your own pace.

You will be immersed in the history of the brewery, discover the range of products, learn more about the brewing process and take an exclusive look behind the scenes of production. The Brewery Tour is a sensory, audio-visual experience ending with a beer tasting at the rooftop bar ‘Bar Bernard’.

Be sure to visit the Tourism Poperinge website.

Bicycle and hiking network

Make your way among the Poperinge hop fields. From junction to junction. Or imagine yourself champion of Flanders while climbing the Kemmelberg.

By the way, you choose how tough you make the course. A competitive ride among friends, a picon or beer bike ride in good company, a cycling trip full of fun activities for the kids ... Or do you like to immerse yourself in history? Let the various characteristic war memorials tell you their story.

Which route will make you a champion?

Are you a sporty hiker? Then work your muscles during a hike in the West Flanders mountains. Or why not turn it into a three-day hike?

Would you rather take it a bit easier? Then retrace your steps on a route especially for children, history lovers or foodies. We bet you too will soon have the walking bug?

Oh, and fix a date in your diary right away. Then you will have a trip to look forward to.
