Experience

There are many local events throughout the year in the Westhoek region. Dranouter festival annually attracts thousands of music fans early August, and the rally of Ypres in June accelerates the heartbeat of every motorsports lover. But lower scale activities and traditions keep fascinating both local inhabitants and visitors as well, ranging from story tours and performances of any kind, to local markets and tastings.

Do

The Westhoek region invites you to explore, preferably on foot, by bicycle or even by canoe on the water. There are faster options too, renting a scooter for example. At our rental house, we will provide you with maps and other material to help you prepare your trips optimally.
