Had a little difficulty in gaining entrance. The downloaded failed. Luckily with a quick phone call to the tourist office it was sorted. Parking nearby. A fairly good reinstatement of the trenches. Visited on a wet autumn day so boards were quite slippery with rainfall and leaves. Spent around an hour walking around. First you need to buy a on their website, then u get an email with a code, scan at the gate and ur in! Easy and quick, only 5 euros! Ground are very well maintained, are realistically restored, when I visited I was alone.. there was no one else, it was actually quite eerie! The flooded bunkers, anything or anyone could be behind the corner of each ready to charge at me! It really is a must visit! Mooi om te bezoeken en te herdenken. Wat een vakwerk en wat een rust....nu. Netjes onderhouden ook, zeker entree waard. Findability / parking is not easy if you come by car, you have to park along a narrow street to visit this place, because the street in which "the museum" is located is forbidden to drive in by car. Furthermore, the entrance consists of a swing gate. If you didn't bought in advance, you can buy them at the entrance via the internet (QR code or website). Tickets 5 euros per person, outrageously expensive for what you actually get in return? Planks of the are completely loose, you can trip over them, there are holes where you can trip over, ... quite poorly maintained!! AND DEFINITELY FOR THIS PRICE!! Totally unsafe when something happens, nobody there of the staff. No toilet and no information point, no one is there. Definitely not recommended, bit of a money grab feeling! Anyway special to walk through the trenches. This is an interesting place but visiting it is a bit involved and parking is very limited. are €4 each from the tourist office in Kemmel and the turnstile lacks instructions on how to get in. We wasted one before we worked out how it worked but fortunately, being reasonably slim, the two of us got in using one and playing sardines in the turnstile! German trenches, they lived a little better in their but still very sobering as they still went through hell as well German position restored with mining tunnels in place. The site is unmanned and there is an automatic gate that requires to be bought in advance at the nearby tourist centre (10 mins drive away). Associated graveyard nearby shows the impact of taking the position by allied soldiers. A bit small but still good enough to get a feel of what those soldiers must have lived during those years of battle. Was heel rustig en rustgevende omgeving. Een must om de impact van een verschrikkelijke tijd te vatten. It's nice and informative, but as mentioned below cannot be bought on site. There is a system in place to automatically check your so why not install one to also buy tickets? Plus there is no toilet if you need any so some parts of the don't smell so good. Veel informatie en leuk en informatief om ook met kinderen te doen Nice place, there is a lot to think about when visiting. The only issue is that you can't purchase at the place. There is a list of shops you can buy it online. It's history you can touch. A small fee to enter (get from the Kemmel visitor's center) but fully worth it. I realized while there that being 6'4" is no good for warfare! Look out for the marker trees that are all over the area. Blue mark's the British lines and red mark's the German line's. Den Eintritt muss man über den QR Code und über die Internetseite kaufen . Man bekommt dann eine Mail wo die Karten über den Strichcode am Eingang scannen kann. Aber Vorsicht man soll sich links nicht rechts in das Drehkreuz stellen und nach dem scannen direkt links durchgehen das sich das Kreuz nur 90 grad dreht ansonsten kommt man nicht rein. Der Eintritt kostet 5€ pro Person Het is een plek waar veel gebeurd is. Maar helaas kreeg ik niet het gevoel bij deze plek van de w01. Ik denk dat het komt door manier van hoe ze deze loopgraven hebben gereconstrueerd. Wil je loopgraven bezoeken, dan zijn er andere plekken die beter weergeven het leed en treurnis die er was. Je moet hier ook nog eens 5 euro voor betalen Zeer bijzondere plek met loopgraven die nog zeer intact zijn Recommended. Pay online at the gate. Worked perfectly. got e-mailed within seconds. Good information inside about the trenches. Not a busy site. We were there by ourselves.
