    Hiking

    The nature reserve is just over 40 hectares and is home to many birds, which can be viewed from the bird hide. The area is managed by nature and forest.
    In the 13th and 14th centuries, St. Michael's parish was located here. It was designed in the early 1990s as a reservoir for drinking water and as a holding basin against flooding. The finds from the excavations of St. Michael's parish used to be on display in glass cabinets in the Mergelynck Museum, but are now also in the Yper Museum.

    Hiking

    The Westhoek Vredeshoek platform has been proposed in the Peace Forest in Ypres. It is a platform in which the 17 Westhoek municipalities will collaborate with organizations such as Wakker voor Vrede, Moeders voor Vrede and Peace Village. They also want to further promote the idea of peace after the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the First World War.
