A small museum and an extensive reconstructed trench along the river Iser. It's very interesting to see how these trenches were laid out and the history associated with this site.

Brief, but impactful place to visit to understand Belgian and WW1 history. Despite the beautiful flowers and grass that have grown around the trenches, this remains a solemn, heavy place. An important reminder for Peace.

Very informative and well preserved place. Walking through the trenches gives you as accurate of an idea as to how the soldiers fought.
