General information about Flowering wild hyacinths

The Kemmelberg (Hill Country near Ypres) is known for its wild hyacinths (wood hyacinths) that bloom in all their splendor every spring. So it is not at all the case that they would only be seen in the "Hallerbos". There are so many of them in spring that, by analogy with the "Black Mountain" and "'Red Mountain", one could even speak of the "Purple Mountain" at that time of year.

If you want to see this floral display, come to Kemmelberg between April 15 and May 15. You just have to have seen this. They grow right into the garden of Hostellerie Kemmelberg. A place to see them well as one beautiful flower meadow is where the former brasserie "the Alverman" was. Note: you cannot go walking among them, everything is behind a fence. Fortunately, above the fence you can take very nice pictures.

Photo taken near the Belvedere on Mount Kemmel. Wood hyacinths form very large, purple-blue carpets. Unique!

Woodland hyacinths not only look attractive, they also smell particularly good!

The wild hyacinth is abundant on the Kemmelberg, including in the woodland garden of Hostellerie Kemmelberg ****.

In the lobby of Hostellerie Kemmelberg ****, there is also a very large photograph (8 meters by 2.5 meters = 20 m²) of this purple-blue floral splendor. Also a "must see".
