At 156 metres, the Kemmelberg is the highest point in the province. At its top is the Belvédère Tower: a tourist observation tower from which you can enjoy a great panoramic view of the entire region. Signs explain the main attractions that lie at your feet. In good weather, you can even see the coast.

The tower is free to enter on Fridays and Saturdays (from 2 p.m.) and Sundays (from 12 p.m.).

Mesen

Highlight • Settlement

1,040 inhabitants and 358 hectares: Mesen is officially the smallest town in Belgium. The place was once an important business location: in the 11th and 12th centuries, all cloth merchants from Lille, Ypres, Bruges and Torhout came here for the annual market.

St. Nicholas Church with its striking dome dates back to those golden years. The entire building was damaged during the First World War and only partially rebuilt in 1928. Only the tower is a reminder of what the church must have looked like in the past.

Want to keep track? Then climb the tower. 37 meters above the ground you have a wonderful panoramic view over the hills of the Heuvelland to Lille.

Tough ride in the Heuvelland, worth riding once, but you do need to be trained for it 😁
