WALKING
The sports and leisure accommodation of the village is actively involved in tourism. Trap fields and multisport courts are used by groups and youth associations. The playing squares and Fit-o-meter are open for the tourist.
We have many rustic routes. Of which three routes start from Nieuwkerke. (Route1, route2, route3). You will enjoy the beautiful views. Tickets for the trails are located in the apartment. We can outline smaller hikes for families with small children.
BICYCLE TOURS
Ideal routes for cyclists, on the 366 km cycling- and mountain biking routes through the landscape of hills. Heuvelland has three traditional routes. The routes are either looped or developed on the basis of the cycle route network.
The three main routes in Heuvelland are:
- Schreve Cycle - Reningelst (Poperinge): 46 km.
- Westouter West Flemish Mountain Cycle – Heuvelland: 45 km
- Klijte-Dranouter-Kemmel-Loker-Nieuwkerke-Westouter-Wytschaete-Wulvergem The Battle 1917 - Thematic cycle route: (27 km).
For experienced cyclists who want to challenge each other physically, you really have to try the “Kemmelberg”, well known from the famous “Ronde van Vlaanderen”. Smaller family trails along the narrow roads are also an option. There are also numerous mountain bike trails.
