Tips

A covered location where you can hear the full story of The Bluff in an audiovisual way. This location is also an entry point for the walk “Ypres-salient – South”. Discover how the landscape was mutilated by the war machine on this narrow, artificially raised ridge from 19th century excavations for the Ypres-Komen canal. The intended canal was never realized due to circumstances in the 19th century. Today on this site, better known as 'The Bluff', you can still discover the scars of the Great War. This was the only place on the Flemish front where the Allies and not the Germans occupied the higher positions.
The Bluff is a place at the front where the landscape has suffered greatly.
The Bluf is one of the most dramatic war landscapes in Flanders Fields, with many craters, large and small.
