this is a huge graveyard of german soldiers who died in first world war. very "sober" and very "simple" but unlke british military cemetaries who look more like tourist destinations, this is a real military cemetery. one feels very humble visiting this

This is the top experience of the year - nearly an hour over the area we've been ploughing through for the last 16 years in car! Easy and friendly booking, nice ground staff and pilot, who was able to - in a large extend - extemporate the flight after our request. Top score!!

Very attractive white houses in a cobbled area, which have a fascinating history of the Begijns movements . There is an interactive museum now opened which does have some information in English, although most of the exhibition is only in Flemish. There is also one house which has the inside showing how the women lived.
There is still a lot of renovation work going on all over Kortijk, but most of this area of Begijnhof St Elizabeth is now open. It is free to enter and well worth a visit . There is a cafe .

Brewery Omer Vander Ghinste is a family-owned brewery in the heart of Flanders that brews authentic quality beers since 1892.
Reviewed By Multisensory E
Wakefield CAMRA visited the brewery on Easter Saturday. There were 32 of us so we were split into two groups of sixteen each which had a very knowledgeable and friendly guide who proceeded to tell us both the history of the brewery as well as the show us around the brewery. The visit ended with a tasting of the various beers that they produce and we all went away with a presentation pack.

Heard the bells played on Sunday morning. Wonderful performance in an otherwise quiet pedtrianised square. I gather there are 62 bells rung from keyboards and (presumably) a pedalboard, so sophisticated music can be played. Totally different from English bell ringing. If you are there at the right time pay a visit.

Easily reached by metro from Lille (get a day pass for 5 Euro) this converted swimming pool has so much character and full of interesting things to see and do. Very children friendly and good cafe / restaurant within. Loved the playing of recordings of children screaming and playing in a swimming pool every quarter of the hour to add authenticity!
