Hill 60 is an authentic area from the First World War. The artificial hill, built in 1850, stood at a height of approximately 60 meters, hence the name Hill 60. Between 1914 and 1918, fierce fighting took place here between the Germans and the Allies. Starting in 1915, both sides dug tunnels under the hill in which mines were detonated. The explosion of the deep mines on June 7, 1917, created the current landscape of Hill 60. Many soldiers are still buried beneath this hill.

Zonnebeke, a charming municipality in West Flanders, is a place where history and nature come together. Known for its role in the First World War, it is home to impressive memorial sites such as Tyne Cot Cemetery, the largest British military cemetery in the world. In addition to its historical significance, Zonnebeke offers beautiful landscapes and recreational routes, ideal for a trip through the rolling Flemish countryside. The Zonnebeke Castle Estate is an absolute must, where you can not only enjoy the green surroundings, but also take a culinary break at Koklikoo, a charming place for lunch, coffee and sweet temptations.

The Polygon Forest, also known as Polygon Wood, is a historically and ecologically valuable forest area in Zonnebeke. The forest is located on the Central West Flemish ridge and is an important breeding ground for birds of prey such as sparrowhawks, kestrels and buzzards. The Polygon Forest also houses important war memorials, including the Buttes New British Cemetery and the smaller Polygon Wood Cemetery. These cemeteries are a tribute to the soldiers who died during the First World War. An interesting anecdote concerns the Scott Post and the New Zealand Bunkers, which can still be found in the forest. These bunkers were built by the Germans and later occupied by the Australian divisions in 1917.

An interesting anecdote from the Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 concerns the role of animals during the Battle of Passchendaele. In addition to the human toll of the war, thousands of animals were deployed, including horses and mules, often working under terrible conditions. One particular story involves a mule named "Jimmy," who, despite the chaos and danger of the battle, kept on carrying supplies to the front line. Jimmy became a symbol of perseverance and courage, and his story is often told to illustrate the hardships and resilience of both man and animal during the war.

The Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917, located in Zonnebeke, is dedicated to the Battle of Passchendaele, an important and bloody battle during the First World War. In just 100 days, almost 500,000 men lost their lives to gain just eight kilometres of ground. The museum is located on the historic castle grounds of Zonnebeke and offers an in-depth insight into the material aspects of the war. Visitors can explore a reconstructed dugout (underground shelter) and trenches, as well as exhibitions with personal stories and authentic objects.
