The Kemmelberg (156 m) is the highest witness hill in the West Flemish Heuvelland. On the western flank you will find a 17 m high column, erected in 1932, known as 'Den Engel'. The figure looks at the obelisk on the mass grave (ossary) at the foot of the mountain. Today there are 5294 bodies of French soldiers from the First World War lying together. Only 57 of them could be identified.
