    Hiking

    The Hopmuseum is the ideal starting point for your journey of discovery through the hop and beer world of Westhoek. In the past, this stately building housed the town scale for weighing and inspecting hops. That historical atmosphere still lingers but has received a nice update. In the museum, you will learn about the history of hop cultivation, harvesting, and processing; interspersed with interesting videos about how things are done on farms and breweries today.

    Admire the Belgian Beer Collection with over 2,500 collected beers, digitized in the 'beer table'. For children, there are various age-appropriate treasure hunts.

    Hiking

    Centrally located in Poperinge right next to the Hopmuseum. Enjoy a delicious regional beer on the terrace in the inner courtyard or try a snack in the cozy café.
    The bistro is located between cycle route junctions 16 and 46, the ideal stopping place during your bike tour.
    The historic Stadsschaal complex includes both the Hopmuseum and the museum café. The site originally belonged to the monastery of the reccolet fathers and until the late 1960s, hops were weighed, inspected, and pressed here.
    Dirk Frimout, the first Belgian in space, was also born here in 1941.
